Dedicated Representation for Injured Individuals Across Oklahoma
A serious injury can affect far more than your physical health. It can interrupt your ability to work, strain your finances, and create ongoing uncertainty about the future. At our Tulsa-based personal injury law firm, we represent individuals across Oklahoma who have been injured because someone else failed to act responsibly. Our focus is on helping injured people understand their rights, pursue accountability, and seek compensation that reflects the full impact of what they are experiencing.
Our approach to personal injury cases is informed by medical knowledge as well as legal experience. Because our attorney has a medical background, we are able to look closely at diagnoses, treatment plans, and long-term implications of injuries—not just surface-level symptoms. This allows us to build claims that are grounded in medical facts and tailored to the real-world consequences our clients face.

Motor Vehicle Accidents: Car and Truck Collisions
Car accidents are a leading cause of injury throughout Oklahoma, often leaving victims dealing with pain, vehicle damage, insurance disputes, and time away from work. We assist clients injured in car accidents by evaluating fault, handling insurance communications, and pursuing compensation for medical care, lost income, and future treatment needs. Our goal is to reduce the burden on you while ensuring your claim is supported by clear evidence.
Truck accidents present additional challenges due to the size of commercial vehicles and the involvement of trucking companies, insurers, and regulatory requirements. These collisions frequently result in severe or catastrophic injuries. We take a careful, detail-oriented approach to investigating truck accident claims and identifying all potentially responsible parties.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
Bicyclists and pedestrians have little protection when sharing the road with motor vehicles, which makes them especially vulnerable to serious injury. When drivers fail to yield at crosswalks, make unsafe turns, speed, or drive distracted, the consequences can be severe. Even low-speed collisions can result in broken bones, head injuries, spinal damage, and long-term mobility issues for those on foot or on a bicycle.
We represent individuals injured while biking or walking and work to ensure their injuries are fully documented and taken seriously. Insurance companies often attempt to downplay these claims by shifting blame or minimizing the extent of harm. We take a careful approach to gathering evidence, reviewing medical records, and explaining how the accident has affected your daily life, helping pursue accountability and appropriate compensation under Oklahoma law.
Brain Injuries and Catastrophic Injuries
Traumatic brain injuries and catastrophic injuries often require extensive medical care and can permanently change how a person lives, works, and functions day to day. These injuries may affect memory, concentration, mobility, emotional regulation, and the ability to maintain employment or independence. In many cases, the full impact of a brain injury or catastrophic injury does not become clear immediately and may evolve over time.
These cases demand a careful understanding of both medical complexity and future needs. We closely review neurological evaluations, diagnostic imaging, treatment plans, and specialist recommendations to understand the scope of the injury and its long-term implications. By connecting medical findings with legal strategy, we work to ensure that current and future medical care, rehabilitation needs, and life changes are fully considered in any personal injury claim under Oklahoma law.
Premises Liability: Slip, Trip, and Fall Injuries
Property owners and managers have a legal responsibility to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors, customers, and tenants. When that responsibility is neglected, serious injuries can occur. Hazards such as wet or slippery floors, cracked or uneven walkways, loose carpeting, poor lighting, missing handrails, or cluttered aisles can quickly turn an ordinary visit into a painful and costly accident. Slip, trip, and fall injuries often result in broken bones, head injuries, back injuries, and long-term mobility issues.
We represent individuals injured on commercial properties, rental properties, and other premises where dangerous conditions were allowed to exist. These cases often depend on whether the property owner knew—or should have known—about the hazard and failed to correct it or provide adequate warning. Our approach involves carefully reviewing incident reports, maintenance records, photographs, and medical documentation to determine how the injury occurred and whether negligence played a role.
Insurance companies frequently attempt to minimize these claims by arguing that the hazard was obvious or that the injured person was at fault. We work to address these arguments by clearly connecting unsafe property conditions to the injuries sustained, helping clients pursue accountability and compensation under Oklahoma premises liability law.
Dog Bite Injuries
Dog attacks can result in serious physical injuries, infections, and lasting emotional trauma, particularly for children and older adults. Bites may cause deep tissue damage, nerve injuries, fractures, and scarring that require ongoing medical treatment or surgical intervention. In addition to physical harm, many victims experience anxiety, fear of animals, or other emotional effects following an attack, which can interfere with daily life.
Oklahoma law provides specific protections for dog bite victims, including circumstances where a dog owner may be held responsible even if the animal has not bitten someone before. Determining liability often depends on where the incident occurred, whether the victim had a legal right to be there, and whether the owner failed to properly restrain or control the animal. These cases may also involve insurance policies, such as homeowners’ or renters’ insurance, which can impact how compensation is pursued.
We help clients understand how Oklahoma dog bite laws apply to their specific situation and guide them through the legal process. By reviewing medical records, incident reports, and available evidence, we work to pursue compensation for medical treatment, scarring, future care needs, and the broader impact the injury has had on the victim’s life.
Medical Malpractice Claims
Medical malpractice cases require careful analysis of both complex medical information and applicable legal standards. When a healthcare provider makes a preventable mistake—such as a misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, surgical error, medication error, or failure to properly monitor a patient—the consequences can be severe and long-lasting. Patients may face prolonged recovery, additional procedures, permanent injury, or a loss of trust in the healthcare system.
Our attorney’s medical background plays a critical role in how we approach these cases. We are able to review medical records in detail, understand clinical decision-making, and identify where care may have deviated from accepted medical standards. This allows us to assess not only what went wrong, but how and why the error caused harm. Medical malpractice claims often require collaboration with medical professionals and a thorough understanding of treatment protocols, timelines, and patient outcomes.
These cases can be challenging, as healthcare providers and insurers often vigorously defend against claims. We work to build well-supported cases by connecting medical evidence to legal arguments, helping injured patients pursue accountability and compensation for additional medical care, lost income, and the lasting impact of medical negligence under Oklahoma law.
Wrongful Death Representation
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is an immeasurable loss that affects families emotionally, and financially. In the aftermath, surviving family members are often left to manage funeral arrangements, medical bills, lost household income, and ongoing uncertainty about the future. While no legal action can undo the harm or replace the person you lost, a wrongful death claim can provide a measure of financial stability and accountability during an incredibly difficult time.
Under Oklahoma law, wrongful death claims may arise from fatal car accidents, truck collisions, medical malpractice, unsafe property conditions, or other negligent acts. These cases often involve complex legal and factual questions, including determining liability, identifying eligible beneficiaries, and calculating the full scope of damages. We work closely with families to explain how the law applies to their situation and what options may be available.
Our approach is careful and compassionate. We handle the legal process so families can focus on grieving and healing, while we work to pursue justice, accountability, and financial support that reflects the impact of their loss.
If your family has lost a loved one in Tulsa, Oklahoma, or anywhere else in Oklahoma, we encourage you to contact our office. We are here to listen, answer your questions, and help you understand the legal paths available during this difficult time.
