Our Attorneys Handle All Types of Norman Car Accident Cases

Monty L. Cain is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, National Top 100 Trial Lawyers and Association of Plaintiff Interstate Trucking Lawyers of America. The legal team he has assembled has the collective skills and experience necessary to take on a wide range of car accident cases for injured Norman residents, including:

Distracted driving. Drivers often cause crashes by failing to pay attention to the road. Distracted driving accidents can involve:

  • Texting
  • Talking on the phone
  • Eating
  • Messing with vehicle controls
  • Daydreaming or reading
  • Interacting with passengers or pets in the car.

Speeding and reckless driving. Another frequent cause of collisions is just plain unsafe driving. People often travel at speeds way above the posted limit or weave in and out of traffic. When they do so, they carelessly disregard their own safety and the safety of others. Sadly, speeding and reckless drivers have caused many people in Oklahoma to lose their lives or suffer serious injuries.

Drunk driving. People who driver after they have used alcohol or drugs are some of the most dangerous drivers on the road. Research repeatedly shows that impaired driving decreases judgment, slows reaction times and leads to thousands of highway fatalities in the U.S. every year.

Driving while overly tired. Fatigue can mirror many of the symptoms of drunk driving. Some research points to how drowsy drivers often have reaction times that are just as slow as those who have been drinking. A sleepy driver is a dangerous driver.

If a careless or negligent driver injures you or a member of your family in Norman, we can help. Please see our Case Results for examples of the many different motor vehicle accident cases we have handled over the years. We can also assist clients in cases that involve:

Compensation for Norman Car Accident Victims

Car accident injuries can be very severe. Even minor impacts can leave victims with life-altering symptoms. You are entitled for compensation for your injuries when someone else is responsible. This compensation may include:

  • Past and future medical expenses. When someone else hurts you and makes you incur medical bills, it is only fair that the at-fault party pay for them.
  • Lost income and diminished earning ability. If you lost time from work, and lost income as a result, you have a right to claim these damages. If your injuries are so severe that you cannot work or need to change careers, you may even be entitled to compensation for your decreased ability to earn a living.
  • Pain and suffering. While it can be hard to fully appreciate, your agony, pain, suffering and discomfort have a value. You have a right to be paid for these damages as well.
  • Emotional distress. Your psychological health is as important as your physical health. If you suffer from anxiety or depression, or if you are fearful as a result of the accident, you may be able to collect compensation for this harm as well.
  • Punitive damages. If your case involves gross negligence and reckless disregard for the safety of others, you may be eligible for punitive damages. These damages do not compensate you for your injuries. Instead, they punish the wrongdoer and deter future misconduct.
  • Wrongful death damages. If you have lost a loved one due to another’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for funeral expenses, burial costs and loss of financial support and services.

If you have been hurt, or someone you care about has been injured or killed in a serious car crash, our firm will review all medical records, talk to witnesses, interview medical experts and work hard to build a strong case on your behalf. We will reject any insurance company attempts to reduce or deny compensation. We will fight for full and fair compensation for you and your family.

Time Limits on Car Accident Claims in Norman, Oklahoma

Oklahoma imposes strict time limits on bringing lawsuits for personal injuries and wrongful death. If you or a loved one have suffered an injury, you should call a Norman auto accident attorney right away.  The time limits on filing suit, or statute of limitations, are:

  • Personal injury. For the vast majority of injuries, including most car accidents, you only have two years from the date of your injury to bring a lawsuit for your injuries. There are exceptions, however, which can make the deadline even shorter, such as when a government agency is involved.
  • Wrongful death. For the majority of wrongful death cases, you will have only two years from the date of death to bring a lawsuit. However, this deadline can be shorter in some cases, too.
