At BDIW Law, we handle a wide range of injury claims. Our accident attorneys have more than 65 years of combined legal experience and a shared commitment to providing personalized service and helping each client obtain full and fair compensation for injuries and losses.
We represent clients throughout Oklahoma. Personal injury lawyers from our firm represent clients who have suffered all types of injuries, including catastrophic brain and spinal cord injuries. We take on wrongful death claims for the families of those who have been killed due to the negligence of others. In addition to the medical bills and related expenses, we help clients with all types of property damage claims, including storm damage claims.
You can count on our team to assist if you were hurt or lost a loved one due to:
- Motor Vehicle Crashes: Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents are caused by careless, negligent drivers who do not exercise reasonable care behind the wheel. Specifically, many accidents are linked to speeding, drunk driving, running red lights or stop signs, and failure to yield right of way.
- Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents: Vulnerable road users can also suffer serious harm because of negligent motorists. Victims of pedestrian and bicycle crashes are at a considerable disadvantage in a collision, being unprotected by a metal shell and almost always subjected to secondary impact injuries.
- Severe, Catastrophic Injuries: Any type of accident can lead to serious trauma involving major organs, bodily systems, and limbs. These are typically classified as catastrophic injuries because they cause permanent disability. Traumatic brain injury (TBI), paraplegia, quadriplegia, paralysis, amputation, and loss of vision are examples.
- Wrongful Death: When a person is killed in a preventable accident, Oklahoma personal injury laws still apply. However, the remedy for surviving family members is a wrongful death claim to recover compensation.
- Industrial Accidents and Oil Field Accidents: Oil fields and industrial working environments can be extremely hazardous. With dangerous equipment and co-workers who may not be adhering to safety precautions, industrial accidents occur far too frequently. At BDIW Law, our lawyers work to obtain full compensation for clients who have been injured in oil field accidents and industrial accidents.
- Premises Liability: As a general legal matter, landowners are liable for accidents and injuries that result from unsafe conditions. This rule applies to individual landowners as well as corporate owners of stores, restaurants and other public establishments. However, there are exceptions and complications in these cases. Contact an attorney from our firm before proceeding with a premises liability claim. We take cases involving slip-and-fall accidents, dog bites and other premises liability claims. In many cases, assault injuries can be litigated as premises liability claims. If an assault could have been avoided by proper lighting, adequate security measures or other reasonable means by the proprietor of a public establishment, the property owner could share some of the liability.
- Product Liability Claims: When a product we use every day turns out to be defective and causes injuries due to defective design, faulty manufacturing or failure to warn consumers of the dangers involved, we can bring a product liability claim to help you obtain the compensation you need.
- Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect: We protect our clients and their elderly relatives from nursing home abuse and neglect. Nursing homes, assisting living facilities, in-home care facilities and related caregivers are legally required to provide a basic level of care. When bedsores, falls and other incidents happen under their care, they can be held liable for nursing home abuse or neglect.
