Automobile Accident

In 2005 alone, 43,614 people died and more than 2.6 million were injured in motor vehicle accidents in the United States. That's 119 deaths, on average, each day — or one every 12 minutes.

As anyone who's been in an auto accident knows, the damage can be far-reaching. Beyond vehicle damage or damage to public or private property, personal injuries resulting from car crashes can take an enormous toll on an individual's health, finances and quality of life.

Who is Really at Fault?
If you or someone you love has been injured in an auto accident, you may be entitled to collect damages from the responsible party or parties. An attorney experienced in auto accident cases can help determine exactly who is at fault and whether or not you have a basis for a legal claim.

Workers' Compensation

Workers Compensation laws are in place to provide medical and financial benefits to employees who have been injured on the job. These laws are in place to protect both workers and their employers. Workers receive monetary and medical protection under Oklahoma Workers Compensation laws in that if they are injured on the job their medical care is taken care of and they receive fixed monetary amounts to compensate for lost wages at work. These benefits are provided in exchange for the forfeited right to sue the employer and are fixed amounts to avoid litigation. The employer thus benefits from this exchange in that they essentially receive immunity from lawsuits originated by the employee, and they only have limited liability for their workplace. Generally, when a person is injured while at work, they are limited to remedies available under Workers Compensation laws.

Family Law 

Family law is an area of law that deals with all aspects of family relations. Family law encompasses: adoption, child custody and visitation, children's rights, child support, marriage and pre-marital agreements, separation agreements, divorce (sometimes called dissolution of marriage), military divorce, spousal support (alimony), marital property division (equitable division), elder law matters, general estate planning, cohabitation agreements, and other legal issues pertinent to the family. Each case is different and carries its own set of circumstances which must be taken into consideration by competent legal counsel.

Criminal Law

Unlike civil law, which involves private law suits between two or more private entities, Criminal Law Attorneys represent clients who are being prosecuted by the state or federal government for an act that has been classified as a crime. With the exception of strict liability crimes, most crimes consist of three elements: an act (actus reus), a mental state (mens rea) and the intent to do social harm. Crimes are classified as misdemeanors--less serious offenses that are normally punishable by a fine like some traffic violations, petty theft, or possession of a small amount of marijuana, and felonies--more serious offenses that warrant imprisonment of one or more years, such as rape, grand theft, assault and battery, assault with a deadly weapon, or homicide/murder.

In criminal law, the suit is initiated by the state or federal government through a prosecutor rather than being initiated by the victim, as it is in civil law. Plaintiffs in a civil law suit only need to show by a preponderance of the evidence that a defendant is 51% or more liable (responsible) for the damages. But, the prosecutor in a criminal law case has to prove to the judge or jury "beyond a reasonable doubt" that the defendant is guilty of the crime charged.

You are innocent until you are proven guilty. An experienced Criminal Law Attorney may think that the evidence against you is not enough to prove that you are guilty.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice is a broad term defined as mistakes considered below the standard level of care made by a healthcare provider that causes personal injury to the patient.

Medical malpractice takes many different forms; surgical errors, amputation errors, emergency room mistakes, failure to diagnose illness, birth injuries, emergency room mistakes, improper pre-operational/ post-op procedure, etc. No matter what kind of medical malpractice experienced, in the eyes of the law the patient must have suffered a personal injury strictly due to the healthcare provider’s error. In addition the medical error must be considered below the standard level of healthcare given across the country.
