Unfortunately, accidents happen. If you were injured in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. The Tuttle, Oklahoma, personal injury lawyers of Abel Law Firm understand the financial and emotional burden that comes after a severe injury.

How a Tuttle Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help
After an accident, you normally fill out an insurance claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company. It can seem as if there’s an endless maze of paperwork, and it can be overwhelming.
After filing your claim, the insurance company may send an insurance adjuster to talk with you. These people are skilled negotiators and may offer you a quick settlement. You mustn’t speak with an insurance adjuster without your attorney present.
Your attorney can help prevent you from inadvertently saying anything that might negatively affect your case. They can also help you evaluate any early settlement from the insurance company. More often than not, the first offer from the insurance company will not be a fair offer.
Insurance companies have experienced attorneys and insurance adjusters representing their rights and protecting their financial interests. You should have an experienced and compassionate attorney working for you, too.
The Tuttle Oklahoma personal injury legal team at Abel Law Firm fights tenaciously to get you the maximum settlement for your injuries. Our team helps ensure that you see the right doctors and have your personal property repaired or replaced.

What Kind of Compensation Is Available?
Often, the injury claim’s value is limited by the amount of insurance the at-fault party carries. The insurance company will not pay more even when medical expenses are higher. Depending on the circumstances of your case, it may be possible to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party for money beyond the insurance coverage.
If you were the victim of an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for the following kinds of losses. This compensation is called “damages.”
Medical expenses: This includes every medical bill related to the injury. For example, surgery, physical therapy, medical specialists, and prescription medications fall under medical expenses. You may also be entitled to future medical care. This could include surgical procedures, physical therapy, bracing, and home care.
Lost wages: These damages are paid for the time you missed at work because of injuries incurred due to an accident that resulted from another person’s negligence. In some cases, you may also be entitled to help find a new job if you cannot return to your current employment because of injuries from the accident.
Property damage: You may be eligible to recover compensation for damaged property during an accident, such as a bicycle, motorcycle, or car.
Wrongful death: Our team understands that no amount of money can take away the loss of a loved one. You may be eligible to recover financial damages to help cover medical expenses and funeral costs.
Pain and suffering: The law allows an individual to be compensated for pain and suffering associated with an injury that was caused by someone else’s negligence.
