Motor Vehicle Accidents

Injured in a car accident in Oklahoma? Calvert Law Firm’s experienced motor vehicle accident attorneys fight for maximum compensation and justice for crash victims and their families.

Your Advocates After a Crash

A motor vehicle accident can turn your world upside down in seconds. The pain, stress, and confusion that follow can leave you feeling helpless. At Calvert Law Firm, we’re here to help you make sense of the chaos, assert your rights, and rebuild your life. Our team has decades of experience helping Oklahoma residents secure the financial recovery and justice they deserve after serious car, truck, and other vehicle crashes.

We know that every accident is different. Some are straightforward fender-benders. Others involve devastating injuries, disputed liability, or complex insurance issues. Whatever your situation, we treat every client as family and every case as if it will go to trial—because preparation is the key to success.

Types of Motor Vehicle Accident Cases We Handle

We help clients with all types of vehicle-related personal injury and wrongful death cases, including:

  • Car accidents (rear-end, head-on, intersection, multi-vehicle)
  • Truck and commercial vehicle crashes
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
  • Rollover and single-vehicle accidents
  • Distracted or drunk driving accidents
  • Crashes caused by defective vehicles or auto parts
  • Hit-and-run accidents

Our attorneys are skilled at uncovering all sources of liability and pursuing every avenue for recovery.

Common Causes of Motor Vehicle Accidents

Every collision is unique, but some causes are more common than others. We routinely see accidents caused by:

  • Distracted driving (texting, using a phone, eating, adjusting music)
  • Speeding and reckless driving
  • Drunk or impaired driving
  • Failing to yield or running red lights/stop signs
  • Aggressive driving and road rage
  • Drowsy driving or falling asleep at the wheel
  • Unsafe lane changes or improper turns
  • Poor road conditions or inadequate signage
  • Mechanical failures or defective auto parts

After an accident, our team conducts a thorough investigation, collecting police reports, witness statements, video footage, and crash data to prove exactly what happened.

Serious Injuries from Vehicle Accidents

Car and truck crashes can lead to catastrophic, life-changing injuries. At Calvert Law Firm, we help clients recover after:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions
  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
  • Multiple fractures and broken bones
  • Internal bleeding and organ damage
  • Severe burns, lacerations, and disfigurement
  • Amputation or loss of limb
  • Soft tissue injuries (whiplash, sprains, strains)
  • Emotional trauma and PTSD

We work with your doctors, life care planners, and rehabilitation experts to document every aspect of your injury and recovery—so you receive the full compensation you need, now and in the future.

What to Do After a Motor Vehicle Accident

1. Get Medical Help Immediately: Even if you feel okay, see a doctor. Some injuries aren’t obvious at first, and your medical records are vital for your claim.

2. Call the Police: Always file an official report. It creates a record and helps with insurance claims.

3. Document the Scene: Take photos of the vehicles, scene, injuries, and license plates. Get names and contact info for witnesses.

4. Notify Your Insurance Company: Report the accident but don’t accept a settlement or make a recorded statement before talking to a lawyer.

5. Contact Calvert Law Firm: The sooner we’re involved, the faster we can preserve evidence, protect your rights, and guide you through your next steps.

The Claims Process: What to Expect

  • Initial Consultation: We’ll review your case for free, answer your questions, and explain your options.
  • Investigation: Our team gathers evidence, interviews witnesses, and works with experts to build your case.
  • Negotiation: We present your claim to the insurance company and negotiate for maximum compensation. If they won’t pay what you deserve, we prepare for trial.
  • Litigation: If needed, we file a lawsuit and fight in court for your rights. Our trial-ready approach often leads to better settlements before court is even necessary.
  • Recovery: We help you recover what you’re owed and can assist with liens, medical bills, and future care planning.

What Compensation Can You Recover After a Car Accident?

Depending on your case, you may be entitled to:

  • All past and future medical bills
  • Lost wages and loss of future earning ability
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
  • Property damage (vehicle, personal items)
  • Loss of consortium (family relationships)
  • Punitive damages (in cases of reckless conduct)

Our mission is to maximize your recovery so you can focus on moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a claim?

In Oklahoma, the statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of the accident.

What if I was partly at fault?

Oklahoma uses comparative fault rules. You can still recover damages if you are less than 51% at fault, but your award will be reduced accordingly.

Can I afford a lawyer?

Yes. You pay nothing up front, and we only get paid if we win your case.

What if the other driver is uninsured?

We’ll investigate all possible insurance and financial recovery options, including your own uninsured/underinsured coverage.
