Leading Liability, Wrongful Death, & Car Accident Attorneys in Oklahoma

If you were injured due to the careless, reckless, or wrongful conduct of another, you could be entitled to financial compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering, and other damages. Whether you were injured on US-169, I-244, or any major roadway in Tulsa, It is important that you contact an experienced personal injury attorney, as these cases can be complex. As the person bringing the claim (known as the “plaintiff”), you also have the burden of proof. This means you are the one responsible for proving your case—and the party against whom you are bringing your claim (the “defendant”) is likely to fight back.

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.

How Do You Find the Right Oklahoma Personal Injury Lawyer for Your Case?

Finding the right personal injury attorney is crucial for the outcome of your case. The appropriate injury lawyer in Tulsa will not only understand the complexities of the law but will also be compassionate toward your situation. Their expertise and negotiation skills could significantly affect the compensation you might receive. To ensure you select the best Oklahoma injury lawyer for your lawsuit, consider taking the following steps:

Conduct Thorough Research: Start by searching online for an injury lawyer with top ratings and positive reviews. Look for testimonials on their website and review sites.
Check for Experience: Ensure the lawyer knows personal injury law and has a strong track record in handling cases similar to yours.
Schedule Consultations: Most personal injury lawyers offer free initial consultations. Use this as an opportunity to gauge their expertise and to discuss your case.
Inquire About Their Strategy: Ask how they plan to approach your case and what their strategy will be for securing the maximum compensation.
Evaluate Their Communication Skills: It's crucial that you feel comfortable communicating with your lawyer. Evaluate how well the attorney listens to you and if they explain legal terms and processes clearly.
Review Their Fee Structure: Understand how the attorney charges fees. Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if you win.
Ask About Their Case Load: Ensure the lawyer has the time to give your case the attention it deserves.
Seek Recommendations: Word of mouth can be powerful. Ask friends, family, or other attorneys for recommendations.
Trust Your Gut: After you’ve done your research and met with potential attorneys, trust your instincts in choosing the lawyer that feels right for you.

By following these steps, you will be in a better position to find the injury lawyer in Tulsa who is best suited to handle your case and help you achieve the compensation you deserve.

Hear From Our Past Clients

"We are so grateful to the team at Brewster & DeAngelis."
When we came to Brewster & DeAngelis, we had no idea what we wanted or what we were doing. We were broken and grieving and trying to make sense of a senseless situation, and Guy, Monty, Clark… the entire office, really, starting with the front desk… stepped in and took the burden off our shoulders. We didn’t have to worry about what we were doing or what we wanted anymore because they took the lead in a compassionate and efficient manner- they truly cared about helping our family and they didn’t ask us to carry any additional burdens- they took time to discover what we didn’t know we needed and they took care of business. They also made sure to address all of our needs outside of a “typical” legal experience by encouraging and facilitating our advocacy and educational awareness. We never wanted to need an attorney, but when we did, we were blessed to find amazing friends and supporters. We are so grateful to the team at Brewster & DeAngelis.

- Cassie F.
"Brewster & De Angelis Law Offices is truly remarkable."
From the moment I reached out to them, their commitment to ethical standards and unwavering support shone through. Their dedication to doing what's right not only instilled confidence in their legal expertise but also made me feel genuinely cared for. Throughout my case, their kindness and support made a significant difference, making a challenging situation feel more manageable. I couldn't recommend Brewster & De Angelis Law Offices highly enough for their exceptional ethics and compassionate approach.

- Christina F.
"There are no words for how grateful I am to the entire Brewster & De Angelis team and how hard they worked to get justice for my son, Gavin, after 4 long years."
There are no words for how grateful I am to the entire Brewster & De Angelis team and how hard they worked to get justice for my son, Gavin, after 4 long years. I sat in the court room for seven days and saw how hard each and everyone worked and the fight they put in each time they got up. I saw how much they cared. I strongly believe if it was not for this team, I would not have gotten justice for Gavin in his medical negligence case. I will forever be thankful.

- Krystal B.
"I will forever be grateful to the zealous lawyering and selfless generosity of this extraordinary law firm."
My family and I are so grateful for the countless hours and all the hard work that each attorney and staff member of Brewster & De Angelis devoted over several years in the pursuit of justice. Clark Brewster and Katie Arnold McDaniel took the time to discover what no other person - not my previous defense attorney, the district attorney, or the Court - took the time to find. The erroneous cancelation of my driver’s license was the product of a court clerk’s mistake. What an amazing team! I will forever be grateful to the zealous lawyering and selfless generosity of this extraordinary law firm.

- Stephen J.
"Five stars!"
Five stars! Katie is one amazingly smart cookie! Once she enters the room, you know you're in good hands! Also, probably best not to get on her bad side, you'll lose!

- Brandon M.
"I cannot recommend better advocates than the Brewster & DeAngelis Team."
The office staff is polite, competent, and caring. Mr. Brewster and Mr. Fortney were generous with their time, giving detailed and informative advice. Katie Arnold McDaniel is a star. She has counseled me through various case types. Her ability to quickly understand information relevant to a dispute, analyze the issues, and find the means to resolve them is amazing to watch. Katie is a fierce advocate, compassionate, and trustworthy. She timely communicates and will do what she says she will do. I highly recommend this law firm.

- Mallory M.
"Mbilike is the most ethical and honest attorney around and his work ethics are top notch. Thank you Mbilike"
Mbilike with Brewster & De Angelis represented me as a defendant in a case in Claremore Oklahoma. we went through 2.5 years of discovery, depositions and on into trial. His work was excellent and stood up to everything that the opposing council threw at us. The judge was obviously impressed by his writings and responses as well. We won on every account, and did not even argue our case after the plaintiff rested, as we knew the judge had all the information needed from the plaintiffs argument. this was a long arduous suit by some really unethical people and Mbilike put it on without a hitch and received a big win. Mbilike is the most ethical and honest attorney around and his work ethics are top notch. Thank you Mbilike

- Jim C.
"We will be forever grateful to them for giving us a chance to live again, following the single worst day of our lives."
Jennifer and her team have been invaluable in helping us navigate life following my father's injury. The negligence of medical "professionals" left our family broken and afraid. Without the assistance of this wonderful team, we would not have ever recovered. They advised us, listened to us, supported us, and fought for us when no one else would. We will be forever grateful to them for giving us a chance to live again, following the single worst day of our lives.

- Jessica M.
