Premises, guardrails & product defects
Serious falls on unsafe property, and injuries made worse by equipment that failed to do its job — including defective highway guardrails, a category this firm has handled directly.
Oklahoma Personal Injury
The other side started working on your case the day it happened.
Adjusters, investigators and defence counsel were assigned within hours. Most injured people wait weeks before they talk to anyone. That gap is where cases are lost.
Within hours of a serious collision, the at-fault party's insurer has opened a claim, assigned an adjuster, and in larger cases dispatched an investigator. Statements get taken while memories are fresh and injuries are not yet fully understood. Vehicles get repaired or scrapped. Skid marks wash away.
Meanwhile the injured person is in an emergency room, then at home, then worrying about work. Most people do not speak to a lawyer for weeks. The gap between those two timelines is where a great many cases are quietly decided.
What we handle
Flynn Law Firm has represented injured people in Oklahoma since 2000. Our injury work sits alongside a workers' compensation practice, which matters more often than you would think — a substantial share of serious injuries in this state happen to people who were on the clock.
Practice areas
Where we do this work
Car & vehicle collisions
Including the two situations people are least prepared for: the at-fault driver who has no insurance, and the one whose policy limits are nowhere near enough to cover what happened.
Car accidents
Semi-truck & commercial vehicles
A different body of law, a different evidence problem, and a defendant with a rapid-response team. Federal safety regulations govern hours, maintenance and driver qualification.
Truck accidents
FELA & railroad injuries
Railroad employees are outside the workers' compensation system entirely. FELA requires proving negligence — and, unlike workers' compensation, allows recovery for pain and suffering.
FELA claims
Hurt while working? There may be two claims, not one.
If you were on the clock when someone else caused your injury — a delivery driver rear-ended, a technician hit on a job site — there can be a workers' compensation claim and a separate claim against the person at fault. The second one covers things the first never will. More on workers' compensation.
What a claim covers
Unlike workers' compensation, this includes what it did to your life
Medical costs
Emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, and the treatment still ahead of you — future care is part of the claim, not an afterthought.
Lost earnings
Wages already lost, and reduced earning capacity where an injury changes what work you are able to do.
Pain & loss of enjoyment
The part workers' compensation excludes entirely. What the injury cost you beyond money.
Before you talk to an adjuster
Four things worth knowing
The first offer is an opening position
It usually arrives before anyone knows what your treatment will actually involve. Early offers are cheap for exactly that reason.
You do not have to give the other side a recorded statement
Your own insurer may require cooperation under your policy. The at-fault party's carrier is a different matter — and it is asking for a reason.
Do not sign a blanket medical authorisation
A broad release lets an insurer trawl your entire medical history looking for something to blame instead of the collision.
Oklahoma has a filing deadline
And separate, sometimes much shorter, rules apply where a government entity or a railroad is involved. Find out which clock you are on.
Common questions
Personal injury claims, answered.
Clear answers are part of the work. If your question is not here, ask it directly—the consultation is free.
The initial consultation is free. Personal injury matters are generally handled on a contingency fee, meaning there is no attorney fee unless there is a recovery. The written agreement explains fees and case expenses before representation begins.
Get appropriate medical attention, preserve photographs and contact information, report the incident where required, and avoid giving the other side a recorded statement before you understand your rights.
Partial responsibility does not automatically end every Oklahoma injury claim. The effect depends on how fault is allocated, and insurers may assign more blame than the evidence supports.
The timeline depends on the medical recovery, the available evidence, insurance coverage and whether fault is disputed. Resolving a claim before the full medical picture is known can undervalue it.
No cost to find out
Tell us what happened. We'll tell you honestly whether you have a claim.
Including when the answer is no. The consultation is free, it obligates you to nothing, and you can have it in English or Spanish.
