01
Fatal car wrecks require more than an insurance exchange
After a deadly crash, the first questions are practical: what evidence exists, who controls it, what coverage may apply, and what Oklahoma wrongful-death issues must be addressed. The case may involve distracted driving, impairment, excessive speed, unsafe turns, red-light evidence, uninsured coverage, or a company vehicle.
The defense may dispute fault, causation, medical history, visibility, speed, or the value of the loss. Those disputes should be anticipated early.
02
Evidence to protect
- Scene and vehicle evidence: photos, crush damage, roadway marks, debris, nearby cameras, dashcam footage, and event data if available.
- Driver evidence: impairment records, phone-use evidence, witness observations, driving history when discoverable, and insurance communications.
- Damages evidence: medical records, funeral expenses, employment records, family support, and records showing pre-death pain or conscious suffering when supported by facts.
