HICKS LAW FIRM
Background

Serious Crash Litigation

Oklahoma Car Accident Attorneys

We handle high-velocity collisions, head-on crashes, and rollovers resulting in hospitalization or permanent injury.

Not All Accidents Are The Same

We do not handle minor "fender benders." We focus on crashes that change lives. When a 3,000-pound vehicle strikes a human body at high speed, the results are catastrophic.

The Insurance Tactics You Face

Insurance companies like State Farm, Geico, and Progressive use specific tactics to devalue serious claims:

  • Delay: They wait for you to get desperate financially so you accept a lowball offer.
  • Deny: They claim your injury was "pre-existing" or that you were partially at fault.
  • Defend: They hire doctors to say you aren't really hurt.

We counter this by preparing for trial immediately. We hire our own experts to prove the mechanics of the crash and the physics of your injury.

Finding Coverage

In serious injury cases, the at-fault driver's minimum limits ($25,000 in Oklahoma) are rarely enough. We hunt for additional layers of coverage:

  • Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM): Your own policy may pay millions.
  • Commercial Policies: If the other driver was working (Uber, DoorDash, Pizza Delivery).
  • Dram Shop: If a bar served a drunk driver.

FAQ

Should I use my health insurance?

Yes. Your health insurance pays your bills now. We will handle the "subrogation" (reimbursing them) later from the settlement, often negotiating a reduction to put more money in your pocket.

The other driver had no insurance. Now what?

We look to your own "Uninsured Motorist" (UM) coverage. Using this coverage does not raise your rates if the accident wasn't your fault.

How long do I have to file?

In Oklahoma, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the wreck. If you wait longer, your claim is forever barred.

What is my case worth?

Value depends on medical bills, future care needs, and lost wages. No lawyer can give you an honest number without seeing your medical records first.
