Oklahoma Statute of Limitations

No accident victim should be taken for granted by the insurance companies

Taking on the insurance company alone can be intimidating and time-consuming. When you are represented by the Dan Davis Law Firm, you can rest easy knowing everything is being done to get you the compensation you deserve.

In pursuing your personal injury claim, you generally must initiate the legal proceedings within a certain amount of time. If you wait too long, you may lose your right to pursue compensation. The time limits to initiate various types of personal injury are generally spelled out in the Oklahoma statute of limitations. The process of pursuing damages can be complex, and delay may affect your ability to collect a settlement. Call the Dan Davis Law Firm at (405) 235-4000 today.

Oklahoma law does have a provision for "tolling" some statutes of limitations in cases of injury to children and minors. Tolling allows victims in some cases involving children to initiate legal proceedings sometime after the statute of limitations expires. This can be relevant in cases where the damage or injury from an auto accident or case of medical malpractice may not become fully evident until years later, as the child has developed into adulthood. Other rules apply. Experienced legal counsel can help answer your questions about these complex legal matters.
