Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Oklahoma's statute of limitations for personal injury cases?
Oklahoma law provides a two-year deadline to file most personal injury lawsuits from the date of injury under 12 O.S. § 95. Missing this deadline typically bars your claim permanently, though rare exceptions exist for cases involving minors or delayed discovery of injuries.
How does Oklahoma's comparative negligence law affect my case?
Oklahoma uses modified comparative negligence, meaning you can recover damages even if partially at fault, as long as you're 50% or less responsible. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, so being 20% at fault reduces your award by 20%.
