Fight For The Compensation You Deserve
The financial repercussions for motorcycle accidents can be crippling, with the average cost lying between $2,500 and an astounding $1.4 million depending on how severe the rider’s injuries are. Tragically, some end in fatality at a staggering rate of around $1.2 million per accident — all told, 4,000 people lose their lives each year due to these unfortunate incidents while 82,000 more suffer from serious injury or disability as a result. These harrowing statistics serve as reminder of just how costly motorcycling can be for everyone involved! If you have suffered injuries because of another driver’s negligence while riding a motorcycle, then you may be able to receive compensation. Before settling for the amount offered by the other party’s insurance company, familiarize yourself with all available forms of damages that can be claimed – these remunerations will cover your future financial expenses. Don’t miss out on what is rightfully yours – ensure that you are informed about everything before making any decisions!
What Damages Can You Pursue?
Damages can not only compensate you for your current medical bills but also future costs of care. If you are forced to take time away from work in order to heal and recover, financial compensation is available for that too. Should your injuries prevent or limit you from working altogether, then damages may be awarded in the form of lost earning capacity as well.
Pain and suffering, including psychological distress, are also valid reasons to seek recompense. Although it can be difficult to assign a monetary value for these damages, they should not go unrewarded if there was serious negligence. In some instances, one may even ask for punitive damages as punishment for their actions. Furthermore, in the case of any fatal motorcycle collision involving loss of life, families who have suffered this tragedy are eligible to receive compensation such as lost companionship and future wages that the victim would likely have acquired had they still been alive today. With so many considerations to make when seeking damages after a crash, you can easily get overwhelmed. Working with a motorcycle accident lawyer from Strong Law will help you protect your rights and interests.
Oklahoma Motorcycle Accident Statistics
Motorcycle accidents in Oklahoma City are a significant concern, with Oklahoma Public Safety showing around 283 incidents each year. These crashes often lead to severe injuries or fatalities, as motorcyclists are more vulnerable than other vehicle occupants. The primary causes include speeding, impaired driving, and other drivers' failure to notice motorcyclists on the road. The aftermath of these accidents is often devastating, resulting in high medical costs, loss of income, and long-term rehabilitation. These alarming statistics emphasize the need for improved road safety measures, increased awareness, and stricter enforcement of traffic laws to protect motorcyclists and others on the road in Oklahoma City.
FAQs
Do you have a question about a motorcycle accident and the aftermath? Here are some common questions and answers from our team:
How long will my motorcycle accident claim take?
The length of time it takes to handle a motorcycle crash claim depends on the complexity of the claim and how fault is shared. If the settlement happens outside of court, it can take just a few months. If it goes to court, it can take a year or more. Our skilled motorcycle accident attorney can help speed up the process while ensuring that you are getting fair compensation.
Should I take the settlement offer from the insurance company after a motorcycle crash?
Insurance companies are businesses, which means they are trying to make money, not help you. Sometimes settlements are reasonable, but it’s always best to talk to our Oklahoma City attorney before accepting one. Your lawyer can help you understand all of the costs associated with your case to determine whether the settlement is fair.
How much is a motorcycle accident claim worth?
The answer depends on the extent of your injuries and the amount of fault you share in the accident. In addition, the economic losses you sustain as a result of your accident, including time off work and lost wages, will factor into the amount your claim is worth. Our skilled legal team can help you think through all of the potential losses you face after an accident.
How long do I have to file a claim after a motorcycle accident?
In Oklahoma, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. This means that if you are involved in an accident resulting in a personal injury, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. This deadline applies to all types of personal injury claims, including car accidents, slip and fall accidents, medical malpractice, product liability, and wrongful death.
Please note that there are exceptions to the two-year rule. For instance, if the injury is not discovered until later, the statute of limitations may be extended to two years from the date of discovery. Additionally, if the injured person is a minor, the statute of limitations may be extended until they turn 18 years old.
It's important to adhere to the statute of limitations because failing to file a claim within the set deadline will result in the dismissal of the lawsuit. Once the statute of limitations expires, you'll most likely lose your right to sue the responsible party and recover damages.
Can I file a claim if I share fault in the accident?
Yes. Oklahoma state is a comparative negligence state, which means both parties in a vehicle crash can share fault. This means you can file a claim, even if you are partially at fault in the accident. Your total settlement will be reduced by whatever percent of fault you share. So if you are 20% responsible for the accident, your settlement will be 80% of the total amount of damages.
Motorcycle crashes can have far-reaching consequences due to the type of injuries they cause. Because motorcycle riders have nothing between them and the road, these injuries are often quite severe. Common injuries after a motorcycle crash include:
- Traumatic brain injuries and other head injuries
- Spine injuries, including paralysis
- Broken bones
- Lacerations
- Road rash
- Organ and internal injuries.
The key to fair compensation in the aftermath of a crash is getting legal help quickly. Our Oklahoma City motorcycle accident lawyer at Strong Law can guide you in the days ahead, so you do not make costly mistakes. If you are looking to protect your rights and seek fair compensation, call our firm as soon as possible after your crash.

“Very professional, and treated me as an equal.”
Just wanted to say thank you to Jed and his team at Strong Law. Not only was I happy with the outcome, but the entire process as a whole. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone. Thanks again.
“Unbelievable work!”
I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!”

What Are Your Hours?
Strong Law is open five days a week between 9am and 5pm. In addition, we offer after hours return calls, weekend calls, and online chat.
What Kinds Of Cases Are Personal Injury?
Call us to know for sure, but a good rule of thumb is when an “accident” that happened to you because of the acts of or misdeeds of another party. Examples are: Auto accidents; motorcycle accidents; semi-truck accidents; wrongful death; medical malpractice; slip, trip and fall; boating accidents, faulty equipment, nursing home abuse; and many others.
Will I Be Charged To Consult Or Talk With You?
No, not ever. Strong Law is a contingency personal injury firm offering specialized experience along with access when you need it. Our goal is to gain the best settlement and provide comfort in the process, so easy access to us is part of our best practices.
What Does Contingency Mean?
Contingency in a legal matter means an expense to the client based on the outcome of a future event or circumstance which is possible but cannot be predicted with certainty. Said another way, Strong Law gets paid only if your case settles.
Can You Give Me An Assessment Of My Case?
Absolutely. While we cannot guarantee anything, nor do we imply a settlement, our willingness to take your case (and do it on contingency) is our voice that we feel your case has strong merit. After speaking with you, we can provide a merit assessment over the phone. However, we caution that accepting your case does not promise anything, your outcome is reflected in the law firm you choose.
What Should I Do If I’m Having Problems, Like Their Insurance Company Is Calling Me?
Always secure an attorney first. If you sign up with Strong Law now, you can advise their insurance company that you have representation and give them our name and contact information. From that time forward, they should not be contacting you again; it’s the law. If you do not sign with an attorney, like Strong Law, you will need to speak with them and represent yourself to resolve your injury. We strongly urge against this; insurance companies are skilled at ensuring their best interests over yours.
What Are Common Reasons For Insurance Injury Denials?
Make sure you receive medical treatment as soon as possible after an accident, otherwise insurance may argue your pain is from an unrelated incident.Insurance companies will be going out of their way to find some proof that the accident was your fault. Don’t be intimidated.If you have preexisting medical conditions that make you more likely to suffer an injury, it is not uncommon for insurance agencies to deny claims based on this.
How Long Does A Case Take To Settle?
It depends on many factors like medical care, future needs, evidence, proof of liability, and many others. Some cases take months while others can last a couple years. Ultimately, our goal is to represent you and what is going to be best for you in the long run.
Why Can Cases Last Years?
Because the law dictates it. There are many layers to make sure the insurance companies treat you with optimal care. For example, there will be time spent for medical treatments you might need. There is time to gather the needed medical reports and discover any long term impacts this injury will have on your life today and into the future. There is time for the other side to review our demands, research, and respond as well. It can feel like a long time, but we follow the law and strategize for the best benefit to you. We are with you the whole time.
