Serious and Catastrophic Injuries
Traffic accident injuries can be life-changing for victims and everyone who cares about them. The lifetime costs of serious and catastrophic injuries are typically far greater than victims or their loved ones anticipate. The insurance companies take advantage of the immediate needs and desperation of families who are suddenly facing huge medical bills and trying to figure out how to put food on the table, and offer a payout that is often far less than what they should pay and what victims will require in the years to come.
An experienced Oklahoma personal injury lawyer can help you recover the full compensation you will need if you have suffered serious injuries such as:
- Brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Severe burns
- Amputation or loss of use of a limb
- Crush injuries
- Organ damage or loss
- Respiratory injury
- Chemical burns
- Severe road rash
- Vision loss
- Hearing loss
- Broken bones and fractures
- Nerve damage
Defective Vehicles
If a defective vehicle played a role in causing an accident or injuries, you may be able to recover compensation through a product liability lawsuit. Some defects cause accidents, but accident victims are not always aware of the fact that many defects cause injuries in accidents that are caused by negligent drivers and other causes, too.
A motor vehicle accident lawyer can determine if a defective vehicle caused or contributed to your injuries and will pursue all avenues of compensation for you. Examples of common defects include:
- Faulty ignition switch
- Steering system defects
- Fuel system defects
- Faulty air bags
- Defective tires
- Faulty sensors
- Electrical problems
- Defective seat belts
- Faulty seat back
- Defective design leading to rollover
- Brake system defects
Product liability also comes into play when a defective car seat causes harm to an infant or child.
