What Is Considered a Personal Injury?

A personal injury refers to physical or psychological harm caused by an accident or intentional act. If you've suffered any of the examples included, you may have grounds for a legal claim or insurance settlement. These injuries can stem from a wide range of incidents, including:

• Auto and truck accidents

• Workplace accidents

• Slip and fall injuries

It also includes medical, dental, and industrial-related harm, such as:

• Repetitive strain injury

• Hearing loss or occupational stress

Time Limits to File in Oklahoma

Under Oklahoma law, personal injury claims must typically be filed within two years from the date of the injury. In wrongful death cases, the two-year deadline begins from the date of death. Claims are usually filed in Oklahoma County Court, and compensation amounts depend on both the severity of injuries and who is legally responsible.

Understanding Comparative Negligence

Oklahoma follows a comparative negligence rule. This means you can recover damages only if you are less than 50% at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Example:

If your damages total $10,000 and you're found to be 30% at fault, you may still recover $7,000.
