What this page covers

Short answer: This is the firm’s personal injury hub for car-accident injury claims in Texas and Oklahoma. We review liability, coverage, medical documentation, and whether an insurer’s offer matches the actual loss. We do not use this page for medical malpractice, workplace injury, or mass-tort dockets.

If the crash was in Texas, start with the Texas claim review. If it was in Oklahoma, use the Oklahoma claim review. If you are not sure, use the form on this page or call.

Claims we review

  • Driver and passenger injuries from car, SUV, and light-truck collisions
  • Rideshare and other third-party vehicle crashes where coverage has to be mapped
  • Uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) claims against your own policy
  • Disputed fault, comparative-negligence arguments, and missing or delayed treatment
  • Early settlement offers made before the medical picture is clear

What to do in the first 72 hours

  1. 1
    Get medical care and keep the records. ER notes, imaging, and follow-up visits are the file. Gaps in treatment are what insurers argue later.
  2. 2
    Photograph the vehicles, the scene, and visible injuries. Do not rely on the other driver or the carrier to preserve that.
  3. 3
    Identify every policy. The at-fault driver, your own liability, PIP or med-pay if any, and UM/UIM. Limits matter more than the first adjuster call.
  4. 4
    Do not give a recorded statement or sign a broad release until you know what you are settling. See our post-crash practice note.

Texas wrecks vs. Oklahoma wrecks

Both states are at-fault systems for most car-accident injury claims: the person who caused the crash (and that person’s insurer) is the starting point, not a no-fault PIP suit. Comparative-negligence rules still reduce or bar a recovery if the injured person is found partly at fault. Many injury lawsuits in both states are subject to a two-year limitations period, but insurance notice clauses, claims involving minors, and governmental defendants can change that date. Treat those rules as a reason to calendar the crash, not as a DIY filing deadline.

The crash location usually controls the claim, even if you live in the other state. A Dallas resident hurt on I-35 in Oklahoma still has an Oklahoma fact pattern. An Edmond resident hurt on I-35E in Dallas still has a Texas fact pattern. That is why this practice is built around both offices.

Coverage we map on every file

A crash is rarely one policy. Before anyone talks “case value,” we identify who actually pays:

  • The at-fault driver’s liability limits
  • Your own liability, PIP, or med-pay, if the policy carries it
  • Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage on your household policies
  • Rideshare, company-car, or commercial layers when those vehicles are in the wreck
  • Health-insurance liens and reimbursement claims that come out of a settlement

That map is why we ask for the crash city, the other driver’s insurer, and whether anyone has already requested a recorded statement. The 72-hour practice note walks through what to gather before that call.

In appropriate cases, attorney’s fees are a percentage of any recovery and are not charged if there is no recovery. Case expenses are separate from attorney’s fees. Expenses are advanced by the firm and reimbursed from any recovery; if there is no recovery, the client remains responsible for expenses advanced. Fee terms are set out in a written fee agreement. Attorney advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Frequently asked questions

Do you handle personal injury cases in both Texas and Oklahoma?
Yes. We review car-accident injury claims for people hurt in either state, from the Dallas and Edmond offices.
Do I pay an attorney fee if there is no recovery?
In appropriate cases, no attorney fee is charged if there is no recovery. Expenses are separate. That is confirmed in a written fee agreement before work begins.
Should I sign the first settlement offer?
Usually not before a review. Early offers often arrive before future care, lost time, and coverage limits are known.
How long do I have to file?
Many Texas and Oklahoma injury claims run on a two-year clock, but the real date depends on the facts. Call if the crash is approaching a year old.
Does this form create an attorney-client relationship?
No. Intake is for routing a case review until the firm is formally engaged.
