Oklahoma Personal Injury Law Library TOPIC: How Long do I have to File a Personal Injury Claim

Each state in the US has its own statute of limitations, which are time restrictions for filing various types of lawsuits. In Oklahoma, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim.

Although the statute of limitations is two years, it is in your best interest and the best interest of your claim to contact an attorney as soon as possible. By contacting an injury attorney right away, the attorney can take immediate action to:

• Investigate the details of your case while memories are fresh.
• Collect documentation of the presence and extent of your injury before this documentation becomes difficult to access.
• Communicate with insurance companies and other involved parties before they have an opportunity to intimidate or shortchange you.
• Answer any of your questions about personal injury so you can make informed choices in regard to your case.

The costs of a serious injury will accumulate rapidly. You may be unable to work, which will result in lost wages. The cost of initial treatment alone may be significant, even before factoring in the costs of rehabilitation and ongoing care. If this injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you deserve compensation for the expense and trauma of your injury.
