Car Accidents

A person who carelessly operates a vehicle may be required to pay any damages caused by that carelessness, either to other persons or to their property. Generally, people who operate automobiles must exercise "reasonable care under the circumstances." Failure to use reasonable care is the basis in most lawsuits for damages caused by an automobile accident
Liability of the Negligent Party.
Injured persons are entitled by law to make a claim for compensation for pain and suffering, permanent injuries, economic losses, and property damage against the negligent party.
Uninsured Motorist Insurance.
If you are injured by an uninsured motorist, your own insurance policy may provide compensation for your damages. If the negligent party has either no insurance, or insufficient insurance to cover your claim, you may be entitled to make a claim on your uninsured motorist policy. Additionally, all members of a household may be covered by an uninsured motorist policy of a relation who resides in the household. Uninsured motorists policies may be "stackable." They also follow the policyholder and members of the policyholder's household, so that if you were riding in another vehicle that had no uninsured motorist coverage, you still may be able to benefit from the policy. In these situations, an injured person may be able to make a claim under the uninsured motorists portion of their own insurance policy for additional compensation for pain and suffering, permanent injuries, and economic losses caused by the uninsured motorist.
Medical Payment Benefits.
Under Oklahoma , a person may purchase medical payment benefits on their automobile insurance policy. These benefits will pay up to the coverage limit for medical expenses incurred as a result of an accident. Please contact your insurance agent and request medical payment benefits.
