Motor Vehicle Accidents

Tulsa, Oklahoma Motor Vehicle Accident Attorney

Car accidents occur nearly every twenty seconds in the United States causing, in some cases, unnecessary personal injuries due to the negligent driving of others. In this day and age of cell phones, GPS navigation systems, and other distracting devices drivers employ while driving, inattentive drivers often are the cause of otherwise avoidable accidents.

If you were hurt in a car accident, you may be experiencing a high level of anxiety regarding your situation in addition to pain from the injuries you suffered. When they find themselves in this situation, Tulsa residents frequently turn to me, attorney Joseph M. Norwood for qualified and experienced legal assistance. I strive to help clients understand their options and the legal aspects to a motor vehicle situation.

I confidently handle motor vehicle accident injury matters in conjunction with a crash or wreck involving different types of vehicles such as:

Cars ● Trucks ● Motorcycles

In addition to cell phones and GPS navigation systems, other causes of motor vehicle accidents in Oklahoma include:

• Driving at excessive speeds
  
• Reckless driving
  
• Failing to stop at a red light
  
• Failing to stop at a stop sign
  
• Failing to yield
  
• Driving under the influence (DUI, DWI)
  
• Defective roadway design
  
• Defective auto products

I pride myself on keeping my clients' best interests in mind throughout the entirety of the case. I am an experienced and skilled trial lawyer that has handled many auto accident cases and car wrecks in and out of court. However, I realize that not all cases are best served in the courtroom. I take the time to thoroughly explain the benefits and possible disadvantages of taking a case to court as opposed to seeking a settlement out-of-court with the insurance company. Over the course of my practice, I have handled hundreds of auto wreck and trucking accident cases. I offer help investigating your case, finding a qualified doctor, getting your car repaired, and negotiating a fair settlement for your situation. I also am dedicated to taking the matter to court and fighting the insurance company if they do not make a fair accident settlement offer.

Insurance adjusters often try to convince you to handle these matters yourself. Just remember who they represent - not you, but their company. I have seen people lose an awful lot of the recovery to which they are entitled, simply because they failed to enlist the assistance of a knowledgeable lawyer. Do not make the same mistake.

Automobile accidents usually involve negligence on the part of the drivers, including drunk driving and reckless behavior. Tractor-trailer accidents can be particularly devastating. If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident, my office will be pleased to help you get through this ordeal.

In addition to handling cases where a party is injured, I represent clients that have lost a loved one in an auto accident. By examining your situation, I can effectively assess the possibilities of securing a resolution to a wrongful death lawsuit, if that course of action is in line with your wishes and goals.
