When Should You File a Personal Injury Claim?

It is always a good idea to file a personal injury claim if you were injured and/or suffered significant damages that have impacted your life. However, before you file a claim, there are some things you should know.

First, you only have grounds for a personal injury claim or lawsuit if you can prove the following:

  • You were injured and suffered measurable economic and/or non-economic damages, such as medical care costs, lost income, or pain and suffering
  • The defendant had a legal responsibility to take reasonable measures to prevent foreseeable harm (duty of care) or was strictly liable for injuries
  • The defendant acted negligently, wrongfully, or intentionally or was liable by default (i.e., due to strict liability laws)
  • The defendant’s negligent, wrongful, or intentional conduct was the direct or proximate cause of your injuries, or the defendant is liable under strict liability

What is the Tulsa Personal Injury Statute of Limitations?

The statute of limitations for most personal injury cases in Oklahoma is two years from the date of the injury. Meaning injured parties have two years to file a lawsuit against the person or entity responsible for their injuries. The statute of limitations can be found in Oklahoma Statutes section 12-95.

    Damages in Personal Injury Cases

    When someone is unexpectedly injured, they don’t just suffer physically. A serious injury can lead to considerable emotional and financial hardship, as well. Victims may need extensive medical attention and ongoing treatments, they may be unable to work for weeks or months, and they may even face lifelong challenges and impairments as a result of their injuries. By filing a personal injury claim, you can seek fair financial compensation for these and other losses.

    The physical, emotional, and financial losses you suffer as a result of an injury are collectively known as “damages.” Economic damages are those with a specific monetary value, such as medical bills. Non-economic damages, on the other hand, are more intangible in nature.

    Some examples of both economic and non-economic damages you may be able to recover in your personal injury case include:

    • Emergency medical care
    • Hospital/ambulance fees
    • Ongoing and future medical expenses
    • Prescription medications
    • Medical equipment/devices
    • Lost income/wages
    • Loss of future earnings
    • Pain and suffering
    • Emotional distress
    • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
    • Therapy/counseling
    • Lost earning capacity
    • Costs associated with home modifications
    • In-home assistance/care

    Does Oklahoma Have a Limit on Recovery Amounts?

    It is important to note that Oklahoma caps, or limits, the amount you can recover in non-economic damages. Since 2011, you may not recover more than $350,000 in non-economic damages in a personal injury or medical malpractice case. This cap only applies to non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, and does not affect your recovery for economic damages, like medical bills or lost wages.

    At Brewster & De Angelis, our Tulsa personal injury lawyers strive to maximize each of our client’s recoveries. We know how important it is that you receive full compensation for your damages so that you can begin to move forward with your life.
