Oklahoma Personal Injury Law Library TOPIC: Do I Have a Personal Injury Case

Personal injury can happen in any type of accident. Proving negligence in a personal injury case can be complex, requiring an aggressive and experienced attorney like James Self to establish fault and secure the compensation you deserve.

The best way to determine if you have a personal injury case is through a free consultation at one of Self & Associates’ several Oklahoma offices. During your consultation, one of our personal injury attorneys will listen carefully to the details of your claim. After reviewing the evidence available, we will be able to better advise you of your legal rights, and determine if you have a case worth pursuing.

In order to establish a personal injury case in Oklahoma, your claim must meet three qualifications:

• Your injuries must be linked to a third party’s actions
• Serious injury, death, and/or financial and emotional damages must be established
• Fault must be established based on intentional or unintentional negligence

How well you document your injury will play a pivotal role in establishing these three qualifications. Taking photos of the accident scene, keeping track of medical records, and having the contact information of any witnesses who were at the scene will also help strengthen your case.

If you live in the state of Oklahoma and have been injured in any type of accident, please contact the experienced personal injury attorneys at Self & Associates today for a free case evaluation.
