What to decide first
Confirm whether the harm, defendant, damages, and proof point toward a case that needs attorney review.
Case focus
Catastrophic Injury Litigation
We review serious injury and wrongful-death matters where medical proof, coverage, and evidence preservation are central.
Proof track
Surgery, hospitalization, permanent disability, or wrongful death.
Another party's recklessness or negligence caused your injury.

When personal injury needs attorney review
A high-value case is not just a big number. It often involves life-changing harm, disputed responsibility, meaningful damages, and records that need careful review. This practice area is strongest when the harm, disputed responsibility, damages, and available records support direct attorney review.
Send the key facts for attorney review.
If this involves death, catastrophic injury, a commercial defendant, or evidence that may need preservation, jump to the case-review form or call the firm.
01
Quick Answer: How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning our fee is a percentage (typically 33% to 40%) of the final settlement or verdict. The fee agreement explains how attorney fees and advanced case costs are handled if no money is recovered.
02
What Qualifies as a "Serious" Case?
Many law firms in Oklahoma look for quick settlements. We prepare for high-stakes litigation. We focus our resources on cases involving:
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Moderate to severe brain damage requiring cognitive rehab.
- Spinal Cord Injury: Paraplegia, quadriplegia, or disc herniations requiring fusion surgery.
- Amputation / Loss of Limb: Traumatic amputation or crush injuries.
- Severe burns: 2nd and 3rd degree burns requiring grafting.
- Wrongful Death: The loss of a parent, spouse, or child.

Case Value Drivers
We work to maximize three types of damages:
- Economic Damages: Past and future medical bills, lost wages, and loss of earning capacity.
- Non-Economic Damages: Pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life.
- Punitive Damages: Available when the defendant acted with "reckless disregard" (e.g., drunk driving).
