How Does a Personal Injury Lawsuit Work?
We’ve all seen those personal injury lawyer ads—late-night TV, billboards, radio jingles. You roll your eyes, flip the channel, and think, That’ll never be me. Then it happens. A car slams into you, a slip at the store leaves you broken, or some freak accident turns your world upside down. Suddenly, you’re not just a bystander—you’re the victim, and you’re not prepared.
The pain is bad enough. The suffering keeps you up at night. Then there’s the stress of calling your boss to explain why you can’t work and wondering how the bills will get paid. A lawsuit? That’s the last thing you want to deal with. Worse, insurance companies start circling like vultures, blowing up your phone with smooth talk and tricky questions.
That’s where Aizenman Law Group steps in. Our personal injury attorneys aren’t here to just throw around legal jargon or cash a check. We’re your lifeline—cutting through the confusion, handling the mess, and fighting for what you deserve. You don’t have to figure this out alone. Our injury lawyers are ready to help you navigate your claim and secure fair compensation.
How Do I Know If I’m Entitled to Compensation?
If you’re injured, you might wonder whether you can seek compensation. A personal injury lawsuit exists to put money on the table when someone else’s negligence causes harm. If their carelessness led to your injury, they should be responsible for the damages—whether that’s medical bills, lost income, or the pain and suffering you’re enduring.
Personal injury claims revolve around negligence—when someone fails to act with reasonable care. Maybe a driver speeds through a stop sign, or a property owner ignores a dangerous hazard. If that failure leads to your injury, they are liable.
Oklahoma follows a modified comparative fault rule under Okla. Stat. tit. 23, § 13. Even if you share some fault, you can still recover damages as long as you’re less than 51% responsible. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you’re more than 50% at fault, you’re ineligible for compensation.
In extreme cases, Oklahoma’s punitive damages law (Okla. Stat. tit. 23, § 9.1) may apply. If the other party acted recklessly or maliciously—such as driving under the influence—courts can award extra damages to punish their behavior and deter future misconduct.
Understanding liability, proving negligence, and securing compensation takes skill. That’s where an experienced personal injury attorney comes in. Aizenman Law Group has helped countless victims navigate their cases, from initial consultation to trial, ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve.
How Our Personal Injury Lawyers Help You Recover Compensation
At Aizenman Law Group, we take charge of your personal injury claim from day one. We start by dealing with insurance companies—because let’s be real, they’re looking for ways to minimize your payout. Our team includes former insurance defense lawyers, so we know their tricks and won’t let them take advantage of you with wrongful denial tactics.
Next, we dive into your case, gathering all the necessary evidence—security footage, police reports, eyewitness accounts—whatever it takes to prove liability and strengthen your case. We also work with medical professionals to document your injuries and future care needs.
Then, we calculate the full extent of your damages—from hospital stays and therapy sessions to lost wages and emotional suffering. Your pain matters, and the law recognizes that. If your injury affects your daily life, relationships, or future job prospects, we fight to ensure those damages are accounted for.
Here’s how we help:
- Collect hard evidence to prove negligence
- Calculate total damages, including medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering
- Negotiate with insurance companies to maximize your settlement
- File airtight lawsuits if insurers refuse to be fair
- Take your case to court if necessary to fight for maximum compensation
We handle the entire legal process—filing paperwork, meeting deadlines, avoiding legal traps—so you don’t have to. And if you need medical care, we connect you with top specialists in Oklahoma who can provide the treatment and documentation needed to support your claim.
Common Personal Injury Cases We Handle
At Aizenman Law Group, we represent clients in a wide range of personal injury cases, each with its own unique challenges. Here are some of the most common:
Car Accidents: Car crashes happen fast but leave lasting damage. From whiplash and broken bones to spinal cord injuries, auto accidents can disrupt every aspect of your life. Our car accident lawyers handle all aspects of your claim, from gathering crash reports to proving fault and fighting insurance companies for fair compensation.
Slip and Fall Injuries: A wet floor without a warning sign, crumbling stairs, or uneven pavement can lead to serious injuries. Premises liability claims hold negligent property owners accountable for failing to maintain safe conditions. If you’ve suffered a slip and fall injury, we’ll prove that negligence caused your accident.
Spinal Cord Injuries: Spinal injuries can result from car accidents, falls, or workplace hazards. These injuries often cause chronic pain, paralysis, or reduced mobility, leading to expensive medical care and lifelong limitations. Our spine injury lawyers fight for full compensation to cover medical treatments, lost wages, and future care needs.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): A blow to the head from an accident can cause a TBI. Symptoms range from concussions to severe brain trauma. Symptoms may include memory loss, confusion, chronic headaches, and cognitive issues. Our team works with medical specialists to document your condition and ensure your settlement reflects the full impact of your injury.
Wrongful Death Cases: Losing a loved one to negligence is devastating. When a reckless driver, dangerous workplace, or defective product leads to a fatal accident, surviving family members may have a wrongful death claim under Okla. Stat. tit. 12, § 1053. Damages may include lost financial support, funeral expenses, and emotional suffering. Our wrongful death attorneys handle these cases with the care and determination they deserve.
