That experience means you have a skilled legal team fighting for you while you focus on healing.
Common Causes Of Motorcycle Accidents In Oklahoma
Motorcycle accidents are unlike most crashes. Riders lack the structural protection that enclosed vehicles provide. Even a minor impact can cause severe and lasting harm. Common causes of motorcycle accidents in Oklahoma include:
- Left-turn collisions at intersections
- Lane violations and unsafe lane changes by other drivers
- Road hazards such as gravel, potholes and uneven pavement
- Distracted or impaired drivers
- Failure to yield the right of way
- Speeding or aggressive driving behavior
Identifying the cause of your accident is essential to building your case.
Types Of Injuries From A Motorcycle Accident In Oklahoma
Riders have very little physical protection in a crash. Common biker injuries in these cases include:
- Road rash and skin injuries: Abrasions that may require surgery and cause permanent scarring
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI): A condition that can affect memory, mobility and long-term function
- Spinal cord injuries: Damage that can result in partial or complete paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures: Injuries that often require surgery and rehabilitation
- Internal organ damage: Serious injuries that require immediate medical evaluation even without obvious symptoms
- Permanent disability and disfigurement: Lasting harm that can affect your ability to work and live independently
In Oklahoma, you generally have two years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury claim, though exceptions may apply. Missing that deadline means losing your right to seek compensation.
At The Law Office of Jeff Contreras, we review every detail of your case and prepare your claim as if it will go to trial. That thoroughness puts you in a stronger position whether you settle or go to court.
