Oklahoma Car Accident Laws

In Oklahoma, you need to be aware of specific laws that could impact your car accident claim:

• Statute of Limitations. The statute of limitations for filing a car accident lawsuit in Oklahoma is two years from the date of the accident. The statute of limitations can be different depending on the circumstances, such as when claims are brought against public entities. The best way to preserve your right to compensation is to bring your case to a proven lawyer as soon as possible.
• Comparative Negligence. Oklahoma follows a "modified comparative negligence" system, meaning if you are found to be 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages. At Aaron Sachs & Associates, P.C., we work diligently to investigate accidents, gather evidence, and lay the groundwork to prove that defendants were at greater fault and preserve our clients’ ability to recover damages. 
• Insurance Requirements. Oklahoma mandates that all drivers carry minimum amounts of liability insurance to cover potential damages, but as many as 1 in 7 drivers on Oklahoma roads are uninsured. And many more lack sufficient coverage to fully compensate victims for their losses. If you have UM/UIM coverage as part of your auto insurance policy (which is a wise decision), you can pursue a claim with your own insurance carrier if you’re hurt by someone with no or insufficient insurance. 

Determining Liability in an Oklahoma Car Accident Case

Liability in a car accident refers to who is legally responsible for the resulting damages. The process of determining liability involves assessing negligence. A driver is considered negligent if they failed to take reasonable care on the road, and this negligence caused the accident. 

Liability can be complex, with multiple parties potentially being at fault, including drivers, companies that own and operate commercial vehicles, local governments or property owners responsible for poor road conditions, and vehicle manufacturers for defective parts. 

As such, determining liability often requires attorneys to cast a wide net and identify all potentially liable parties, and gather important evidence. This may include police reports, witness statements, traffic surveillance, and independent assessments of the crash scene. At Aaron Sachs & Associates, P.C., we have the resources and professional connections to handle these fact-gathering investigations with the care and attention they demand.
