How a lawyer can help determine fault
A lawyer plays a critical role in determining fault after an Oklahoma car accident by carefully gathering and analyzing evidence. They may start by reviewing police reports to understand the initial assessment of the accident and then interview witnesses to gather firsthand accounts and unbiased perspectives. In more complex cases, lawyers may seek help from accident reconstruction experts to recreate the sequence of events leading to the collision.
It’s important to note Oklahoma follows a "modified comparative negligence" system. This means you can still recover damages if you were partially at fault, as long as you aren’t more than 50% responsible for the accident.
Types of damages in Lawton car accident claims
There are many types of damages (financial compensation) that you can pursue for a car accident. There is no single set number. Rather, your compensation depends on the extent of your injuries, the cost of treatment, and the effects they have had and will have on your life. We may be able to pursue compensation for:
- Past, current, and future medical treatment
- Medication and medical devices
- Modifications to your home or vehicle to accommodate a disability
- Lost wages and lost future income
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of quality and enjoyment of life
In some cases, we’re also able to pursue punitive damages (that is, damages intended to punish the at-fault driver), if the conduct that led to your accident was especially egregious.
Due to the list of factors that contribute to car accident compensation, it can be difficult to calculate an average. Depending on your circumstances, the total cost of a car accident claim can easily be in the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. On average, car accident settlements tend to range from $15,000 to $35,000.
However, you can’t expect a car insurance company to just pay up. They need to be held accountable with strong legal action. That’s why you need an experienced Lawton, OK car accident lawyer to handle them on your behalf.
