What Our Clients Say
We take pride in helping Oklahomans get back on their feet after devastating crashes. Here’s what clients have shared about their experience with our firm:
Determining Liability After a Car Accident
Car crashes don’t happen in a vacuum — they’re almost always the result of a driver or another party failing to act responsibly. In Oklahoma, establishing liability is the key to a successful claim. That means proving that another party’s negligence directly caused your injuries.
Negligence can take many forms, such as:
- A driver who runs a red light or texts while driving.
- A motorist who is impaired by alcohol or drugs.
- A driver speeding, tailgating, or ignoring traffic signals.
- A vehicle manufacturer that sells defective brakes or tires.
In each case, the legal question is the same: did someone fail to use reasonable care, and did that failure cause preventable harm?
At J. Alexander Law Firm, we investigate crashes from every angle, reviewing police reports, speaking with witnesses, examining medical records, and when necessary, working with accident reconstruction experts to build a compelling case for liability.
How Car Accident Injuries Affect Your Claim
Every car accident injury is unique, but what matters most from a legal standpoint is how those injuries affect your life and your financial recovery. Insurance companies often minimize claims by arguing that injuries aren’t “that serious” or by blaming pre-existing conditions. Our job is to document the full impact so nothing is overlooked.
Consider the difference:
- A traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury may require lifelong care, impacting both earning potential and independence.
- Orthopedic injuries like fractures can lead to expensive surgeries and long recovery times, disrupting your ability to work.
- Even injuries that eventually heal, like whiplash or soft tissue damage, can create months of lost wages and medical bills.
That’s why we work with medical experts and life-care planners to show not only what your injuries cost today, but what they will mean for your future. A fair settlement or verdict must account for the total impact of your injuries, not just the surface-level bills.
Challenges in Car Accident Cases
Car accident cases may seem straightforward, but in practice, they’re often some of the hardest fought. Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers whose job is to minimize payouts, and they use every tactic available to protect their bottom line.
Some of the most common challenges include:
- Disputes over fault – Insurers may argue you were partially or mostly to blame, which matters under Oklahoma’s comparative negligence system.
- Minimizing injuries – Adjusters often claim your injuries aren’t as serious as reported or blame them on pre-existing conditions.
- Lowball settlements – Early offers rarely reflect the full cost of long-term care, lost wages, or the personal toll of an accident.
- Uninsured/underinsured drivers – If the at-fault driver doesn’t have enough coverage, your own UM/UIM policy may come into play.
These challenges are why working with an experienced Tulsa car accident lawyer matters. Our team knows how to push back, build strong evidence, and keep insurers honest when they’d rather protect profits than people.
Steps in the Car Accident Claims Process
If you’ve never been through an injury claim before, the process can feel overwhelming. At J. Alexander Law Firm, we guide you every step of the way so you know what to expect and what we’re working on behind the scenes.
Most cases follow a similar path:
- Investigation – Collecting police reports, witness statements, photos, and medical documentation.
- Claim Filing – Submitting a demand to the insurance company and outlining the damages we are seeking.
- Negotiation – Engaging with the insurer to pursue a fair settlement; many cases resolve at this stage.
- Litigation – If insurers refuse to be reasonable, we file suit and prepare for trial.
- Resolution – Whether by settlement or verdict, we fight for an outcome that reflects your injuries and losses.
We prepare every case as if it will go to court. That approach gives us leverage in negotiations and makes sure insurers know we’re serious about securing full and fair compensation.
Do I Have a Car Accident Case?
After a crash, many people wonder whether their situation “counts” as a case worth pursuing.
In general, you may have a valid claim if:
- You needed medical treatment after the accident.
- You’ve missed work or lost income due to your injuries.
- The other driver was clearly at fault, or their insurer is disputing liability.
- A loved one was killed in a preventable accident.
If your case qualifies, the law may entitle you to recover damages. These often include the cost of medical care, lost wages, and the personal impact of your injuries — things like pain, emotional distress, or the loss of activities that once defined your daily life. In wrongful death cases, surviving families may also recover funeral costs and the loss of financial and emotional support.
The only way to know for sure is to speak with an attorney. At J. Alexander Law Firm, we offer free consultations and can quickly tell you whether you have a claim worth pursuing.
Tulsa Car Accident FAQ
What if I Was Partially at Fault for the Crash?
Oklahoma follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means you can still recover compensation as long as you are less than 51% at fault for the accident. However, your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
For example, if you are awarded $100,000 but found 20% at fault, you would receive $80,000. Insurance companies often exaggerate fault to reduce payouts. An experienced lawyer can push back and protect your claim.
Should I Accept the Insurance Company’s First Settlement Offer?
Rarely. Early offers are almost always designed to close the case quickly and cheaply, often before the full impact of your injuries is known. Once you accept a settlement, you generally cannot go back for more, even if your medical bills end up much higher than expected. It’s best to let an attorney review any offer before you sign away your rights.
How Long Do Car Accident Cases Take to Resolve?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some cases settle in a matter of months, while others, especially those involving severe injuries or contested liability, can take a year or more. The timeline depends on factors like the extent of your medical treatment, whether liability is disputed, and whether the case goes to trial. At J. Alexander Law Firm, we work to resolve cases as efficiently as possible while still pursuing the maximum compensation available.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?
At J. Alexander Law Firm, there are no upfront fees. We handle car accident cases on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. Our consultations are free, and if you hire us, our fee comes out of the settlement or verdict.
