 What You Should Do After an Auto Accident

If you have been in an auto accident, there are steps you should take immediately, including turning on your hazard lights, removing yourself from danger (if possible) and calling 911.

After you have been medically cleared, there are some steps you can take that may be of assistance to your lawyer if you decide to file a lawsuit:

* Accident records are now available to applicants in the state of Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol website provides helpful information on this topic.

Filing Time Limits – The Statute of Limitations in Oklahoma

In the state of Oklahoma, there is a two year statute of limitations. This is based on Section 12-95 of the Oklahoma Statutes and means that as an accident victim, you have two years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit for compensation.
It’s also important to note that many auto insurers also have filing limits on insurance claims.

With this in mind, an attorney from The Edwards Law Firm can help to review the details of your collision and to explain your legal options.

In most instances—and after speaking with an attorney about your specific case—filing both the insurance claim and the damages lawsuit well in advance of the filing deadline is often a wise decision. Do I Have a Claim? Proving Fault in an Auto Accident

When an victim files a lawsuit to be compensated for any injuries and/or property damage that they have sustained in a collision, it is the responsibility of the plaintiff (someone that brings a legal action) to prove:

The car accident lawyers at our law firm work diligently to establish fault and to uphold the merits of your case. As part of this process, it is important to provide your lawyer with as much information about the accident as possible—any photos, contact information of witnesses, supporting documents such as police reports, and similar information can often be utilized to support your claim.


Insurance Claims for Car Accident Injuries

Pursuing compensation for car accident injuries can be very stressful. Accident investigators sent by insurance carriers are there to collect information, which may not be used to your favor.

It is in your best interest to hire a Tulsa personal injury lawyer who will assist you in all dealings with the at-fault drivers insurance investigators. Our lawyers will work to alleviate the stress involved with questioning from the insurance company so that you can focus on what is most important: your injury recovery.


The force and speed at which many car accidents occur can cause severe and devastating injuries, or even death. Sharp metal and broken glass can do serious damage to drivers and passengers riding in all vehicles involved in a crash. In cases of minor accidents, victims may be lucky enough to walk away with minor cuts and bruises, but in many cases, injuries can be much more severe.

The most common types of car accident injuries include: Uninsured and Underinsured Motorists

If you are involved in a car accident where the other driver is at fault, their insurance is supposed to pay for your property damage and medical bills. But what if they’re uninsured?


By law, Oklahoma drivers are required to carry insurance to protect the drivers around them. However, this is no guarantee that everyone around you is actually keeping that law. Here are some of the most common reasons why people drive without insurance:

If you are in a wreck with an uninsured motorist who is at fault in the accident, would it pose a hardship for you to pay for all the expenses that the accident causes?

Underinsured Motorists

The minimum amount of insurance that Oklahoma law requires drivers to carry is enough to cover a basic accident, but what if you’re in a severe accident? Oklahoma statute 47 O.S. § 7-324 gives the following minimums for coverage that drivers are are required to carry.

If you drive a car that’s worth more than $25,000, or if you are in an accident that leaves you in intensive care for several days, you can be very sure that your expenses will far exceed the amount that the other motorist’s insurance will cover on your behalf.


If you’re just thinking of taking your chances and hoping for the best, think again. According to a 2015 Pew Charitable Trusts survey, Oklahoma has the highest percentage of uninsured drivers in the nation, at 25.9 percent. That means that one out of every four vehicles on the road is probably driven by an uninsured driver. So how do you protect yourself?

1. Before you’re ever in an accident, make sure you have Uninsured Motorist Coverage on your auto insurance policy. Insurance companies are required to offer this to you, but you are not required to take it. However, if you decline it, you won’t be covered if you are in an accident with an uninsured person. Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage may only add a few dollars to your monthly premium, but if you’re ever hit by an uninsured driver, the reward will definitely be worth it.
2. If you are in an accident with an uninsured driver, contact a lawyer. You’re probably not going to take that other driver to court; what you need legal help with is fighting against the insurance company to claim the compensation that you’re entitled to.

Contact the accident lawyers at Edwards Law to tell us about your case. If you have been injured or suffered property damage due to another driver’s negligence, we offer a free case evaluation. Submit the case evaluation form today.


We’ve covered a lot of ground so far, and you may be wondering just what you need to do next, especially if this is the first time you’ve approached a lawyer for any issue. You don’t have to think of yourself as a “litigious person” to need a lawyer to represent you after your accident.

Accidents are stressful, scary times, and if you are injured or dealing with mental suffering, it will be harder than ever for you to deal with representing yourself on your own.

Insurance companies know that people hate hassle more than they hate almost anything else. If they can get you to perceive that it’ll be a huge, time-consuming mess to resist their assessment of your accident, they can persuade you to be silent and just take whatever they hand you.

There are times in life when it’s not right to be silent. Hiring a lawyer can be the way to give yourself a voice. It lets the legal firm be the one to hold the insurance company to give you a fair amount for your suffering.



Once you’ve taken these steps, you will know if our attorneys have decided to take your case. We will guide you through every step of the way. It’s our goal to take the hard work off of your shoulders and put it onto our shoulders. However, along the way, there will be things we ask you to do. For instance, we’ll need you to compile any evidence you have, such as names of witnesses or photographs of the accident.

Every case is different, so the exact process of fighting for justice for you might look slightly different than it did for everyone else. However, we’ll give you step-by-step guidance through the journey so that you will feel at ease and know what’s coming next.


There’s no guarantee of success. No one can predict the outcome of your case, and no matter how many other people have had cases similar to yours, no lawyer can guarantee your results. (Besides, it’s illegal for lawyers to issue—or even imply—a guarantee.) Our former results don’t predict future outcomes.


We transfer most of the risk to ourselves, taking it off of you. How? 
If you have been hurt in a car accident, you need an Oklahoma auto accident lawyer who can fight for you. The experienced team of legal professionals at The Edwards Law Firm are dedicated to holding at-fault parties accountable for the injuries they have caused.
