What to decide first
Confirm whether the harm, defendant, damages, and proof point toward a case that needs attorney review.
Case focus
Serious Crash Litigation
We handle high-velocity collisions, head-on crashes, and rollovers resulting in hospitalization or permanent injury.
Proof track
Hospitalization, surgery, brain injury, spinal injury, fracture, permanent impairment, or fatal loss.
Disputed fault, missing video, conflicting witness accounts, or an insurer pushing an early recorded statement.

When car accidents needs attorney review
A high-value case is not just a big number. It often involves life-changing harm, disputed responsibility, meaningful damages, and records that need careful review. This practice area is strongest when the harm, disputed responsibility, damages, and available records support direct attorney review.
Send the key facts for attorney review.
If this involves death, catastrophic injury, a commercial defendant, or evidence that may need preservation, jump to the case-review form or call the firm.
01
Priority Checklist
If you are reading this from the hospital: avoid signing a release or giving a recorded statement until you understand the injury, coverage, and evidence issues. Early review can help identify vehicle data, photos, witnesses, and insurance layers.
02
Not All Accidents Are The Same
We focus on crashes that change lives: high-speed impacts, head-on collisions, rollovers, drunk driving crashes, disputed-fault collisions, and wrecks involving surgery, permanent impairment, or death.
03
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 building the record early: crash mechanics, medical causation, treatment chronology, coverage, and the facts needed to test the insurer's position.
04
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 provide additional coverage when the at-fault driver has too little insurance.
- Commercial Policies: If the other driver was working (Uber, DoorDash, Pizza Delivery).
- Dram Shop: If a bar served a drunk driver.
05
High-Risk Scenarios
We have specific experience with:
- I-35 & I-40 Crashes: High speed highway pileups.
- Drunk Drivers: Seeking punitive damages.
- Texting & Driving: Subpoenaing phone records.
