Tulsa Personal Injury Attorneys
If you or a loved one who has suffered from personal injury including: medical malpractice, auto accident, nursing home negligence, premise liability, construction site accidents, defective products, or any other personal injury issue in Oklahoma , you may have a case that Givens & Givens can handle for you.
Automobile and Other Vehicle Collisions in Oklahoma : All
Oklahoma automobile drivers are required by Oklahoma state law to carry a minimum of $20,000
liability insurance although many carry amounts much higher. If a party
is “negligent” (lacking reasonable care for another) a jury
can award 
damages to a less negligent driver for collision or other property
damage, medical bills, pain and suffering, or to heirs upon wrongful death in Oklahoma . Generally,
these cases are handled on a contingent basis – if you do not settle
or win a case or claim, you owe no fees to the Tulsa attorney representing you. If
you win, your attorney usually will receive a percentage of any recovery,
the amount depending on at what stage the recovery is made – less for
merely negotiating claims, more if suit is filed, and a higher amount if
the case is tried, or appealed. Boats and other water craft,
and motorcycles, also may be a cause for like damages.
Tenants and Business Invitee Liability: A
landlord may be liable to his tenant (or tenant’s guest) for damages
suffered due to negligence in maintaining the premises rented. Or,
a tenant may be liable to his own guest for negligence in or around his own
premises. And a business operator may also incur liability to a customer
for negligent injury.
Insurance disputes: Even if you have insurance
of your own, the insurer may dispute certain types of damages, and you need
an expert to determine your rights. Insurance involved may be for liability
to others, or repair or replacement of your own vehicle, or for insurance
you carry for protection against uninsured operators of other vehicles.
Wrongful Deaths in Oklahoma
Wrongful Death in Oklahoma is a source of highly contested court claims, and family members may be entitled to damages caused them through a third party’s negligence or even faulty design or operation of some product. No one should settle a wrongful death claim on their own without legal advice – especially under the stress and emotional impact of loss of a loved one.
