Why Do You Need a Lawyer After a Car Accident?
Many of the injured clients we work with have never been in this situation before. They do not consider themselves “the type to sue,” yet they can’t afford to accept a lowball car accident traffic collision settlement offer from the insurance companies.
Based on our 25-plus years of experience as personal injury attorneys, we know the pressures you are facing today. Plus, we can talk to you about what challenges you may face in the future after being seriously injured in an Oklahoma City car accident.
During this difficult time, it is important that you have a good grasp of the true damages you have suffered and are ready to negotiate from the strongest position possible. That’s where we come in.
How Our Oklahoma City Car Accident Attorney Can Help You
You can count on our Oklahoma City car accident attorney to:
- Investigate your car wreck and identify who is legally liable for the crash and your injuries. This is likely to be the other driver but, depending on the circumstances of your accident may be multiple parties.
- Locate all insurance policies providing coverage applicable to your accident and injuries, whether held by liable parties or you.
- Obtain your medical records and have them reviewed by experts to determine the full extent of your car accident injuries and your recovery prognosis.
- Account for all of your past, current, and projected costs and losses caused by the car wreck. Particularly if you have disabling injuries, we will work with medical, vocational, and economic consultants, as necessary, to determine your likely medical and/or life care needs in the years ahead and how your injuries will cost you income due to diminished earning capacity.
- File claims with the appropriate insurance companies and negotiate for full and prompt traffic collision settlements.
- File a car accident lawsuit(s) to seek compensation from the at-fault parties when a settlement(s) cannot be reached. Keep in mind that, though individuals may be named in lawsuits, almost all money recovered in such a suit is paid through insurance.
- Fight aggressively for fair and full settlements even as the lawsuit(s) moves forward. Once a lawsuit is filed, information obtained from opposing parties during “discovery” often makes settlement negotiations more fruitful as evidence begins to paint a picture of what really happened and why.
- Present a strong and comprehensive case in court, if required. Most car accident claims can be settled outside of court, but if that is not possible, our lawyers will be well prepared to take your case before the judge and jury.
Speak to a Lawyer Before Talking to Insurance Companies
You may have already heard from an insurance adjustor working on your auto accident claim. It is crucial that you decline to give a recorded statement, sign any documents, or accept any payment from an insurance company unless you do so at the advice of an experienced Oklahoma City auto accident attorney. You could be signing away your rights to the full compensation you are due.
Insurance adjustors cannot and do not know the true cost of a serious car accident injury in the days and weeks after it has occurred. They offer lowball payments based on past payouts for claims similar to yours and in line with their profit-minded business model.
Our knowledgeable personal injury attorneys can help you determine what you truly need to recover. You should be financially whole at the end of a car accident claim – with no debt attributable to the crash and, if you have been disabled, no concerns about how you will provide for yourself going forward. That’s what we fight for.
Contact us today to schedule a free consultation, and let us go over your case and review any settlement offer the insurance company has made. If it is appropriate and fair to you, we’ll tell you so. If it’s not, we will talk about your options for moving forward.
How Much Is Your Car Accident Case Worth?
This is one of the most common questions people ask when they meet with our personal injury lawyers. The answer will depend on how severely you were injured and what your long-term prospects are for recovery. Some of the types of compensation we will likely pursue in your car accident claim include:
- Payment for medical bills, follow-up doctor appointments, rehabilitation expenses, and medications
- Estimated costs for future medical treatments you may need
- Compensation for the income you have lost if you had to miss work
- Estimated costs for a reduction in your earning capacity if you are forced to take a lower-paying job due to your injuries
- Payment for property damages, including for repair, total loss, loss of use, and diminished value
- Compensation for the pain and suffering you have endured due to your injuries
In cases involving extreme misconduct, you may also be awarded punitive damages as a means of punishing the at-fault party.

What You Can Expect When We Take Your Car Accident Case
After a serious car crash, we know the burden of physical and financial recovery is weighing heavy on our clients’ minds. That’s why we try to take as much of the pressure off you as possible. Our entire law firm gets involved in our clients’ cases to ensure you have the most support possible as you navigate through this difficult time. Once you contact the Cain Law, we will:
- Set an appointment for a free initial legal consultation. This meeting comes at no cost and with no further obligation from you. We can meet in our southwest Oklahoma City or Edmond office or at your home, hospital room, office, or wherever you prefer.
- Take your case on a contingency-fee-basis. This means we handle all upfront costs of investigating your case and filing claims, and you are not charged a cent unless we obtain money for you. Then we will accept an agreed-upon percentage of any settlement or jury award we obtain. If we do not win, you pay nothing. This protects you and motivates us to win.
- File all correspondence and paperwork required to initiate insurance claims, and track down evidence such as police reports, 911 calls, witnesses, medical records, medical receipts, etc.
- Respond promptly to your questions and concerns, including answering your calls and returning your emails in a timely manner, even at night and on weekends.
- Ensure you have the additional assistance you need, such as providing referrals for general or specialized medical care, car repairs, vocational rehabilitation counseling, etc.
- Keep you informed about the progress of your claim. We will bring all settlement offers to you along with our advice, but all decisions will be up to you. If we must go to court, we will make sure you understand how a trial will proceed and any role you may play.
- Serve as a buffer between you and insurers, creditors, and others as your claim proceeds. Once we take your case, we are your legal representatives and advocates. In all matters related to your accident, injuries, and recovery, we hope you will refer questions to us, your attorneys.
