Serious Personal Injury and Wrongful Death

Hurt in a serious accident or lost a loved one due to negligence? Calvert Law Firm’s Oklahoma attorneys provide aggressive, compassionate representation for personal injury and wrongful death claims.

Compassionate Advocacy in Life’s Most Challenging Moments

A serious injury or the sudden, tragic loss of a loved one is life-altering. The trauma, medical bills, financial stress, and grief can feel overwhelming—and insurance companies often make things even harder. At Calvert Law Firm, we’re here to help you rebuild, find answers, and pursue justice. For decades, we have helped individuals and families throughout Oklahoma hold negligent parties accountable and secure the compensation they deserve.

We know that no amount of money can replace what you’ve lost. But a successful personal injury or wrongful death claim can provide critical support for medical care, lost income, and future security—while holding wrongdoers accountable.

Types of Cases We Handle

Our attorneys are trusted advocates in cases involving:

  • Catastrophic injuries (brain, spinal cord, paralysis, amputations)
  • Severe burns or disfigurement
  • Wrongful death from car, truck, or workplace accidents
  • Fatalities or severe injuries from defective products
  • Medical malpractice
  • Oilfield and industrial accidents
  • Dangerous premises or negligent security
  • Drunk driving and distracted driving crashes

If your situation involves any type of serious harm or fatality caused by another’s negligence or wrongdoing, we’re ready to help.

What is a Serious Personal Injury Case?

Not all injuries are the same. “Serious” personal injury cases involve trauma that dramatically changes a person’s life—physically, emotionally, and financially. These injuries often require surgery, long-term medical care, rehabilitation, assistive devices, and may prevent someone from returning to work or living independently.

Examples include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and cognitive impairments
  • Spinal cord injuries (paralysis, loss of sensation)
  • Multiple fractures or crushed bones
  • Permanent disfigurement, scarring, or burns
  • Amputations or loss of limb
  • Loss of vision or hearing

Our attorneys work closely with medical experts, life care planners, and economists to document every way the injury has impacted your life—so nothing is left out of your claim.

Wrongful Death Claims: Justice for Families

When negligence leads to the death of a loved one, Oklahoma law allows certain family members to bring a wrongful death claim. This is a complex legal process, but our lawyers are with you at every step, handling the details so you can focus on grieving and healing.

Damages available in wrongful death cases may include:

  • Medical expenses related to the final injury or illness
  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Loss of income and financial support
  • Loss of companionship, love, and guidance
  • Mental anguish and emotional suffering
  • Punitive damages (in cases of egregious misconduct)

We handle wrongful death claims with the utmost respect and sensitivity, knowing these cases require both legal skill and genuine compassion.

The Claims Process: What to Expect

  1. Consultation and Case Review: We start with a free, confidential consultation. We’ll listen to your story, explain your rights, and answer all your questions.
  2. Investigation: Our team gathers medical records, accident reports, photos, video, and expert opinions. We reconstruct events and build a strong claim.
  3. Filing Claims and Negotiation: We present your case to the responsible party or insurance company and begin negotiations. We’ll never pressure you to settle for less than you deserve.
  4. Litigation (If Needed): If a fair settlement can’t be reached, we file suit and take your case to trial. Our attorneys are respected in the courtroom and fight hard for our clients.
  5. Resolution and Recovery: We work to maximize your recovery and help you access any medical care, therapy, or support you need to move forward.

What Damages Can Be Recovered in Serious Injury or Wrongful Death Cases?

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a personal injury or wrongful death claim?
In Oklahoma, the statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of injury or death. There are exceptions, so call us as soon as possible to protect your rights.

Can I afford a lawyer for my injury or wrongful death case?
Yes. We work on a contingency fee—no fees unless we recover compensation for you.

What if my loved one was partially at fault?
Oklahoma law allows for recovery if your loved one was less than 51% at fault for the incident. Damages are reduced by their percentage of fault.
