Wrongful Death

Wrongful Death Lawyer in Oklahoma

Oklahoma Statute § 12-1053 establishes the state law governing wrongful death actions in Oklahoma. The statute allows certain personal representatives of people killed as the result of the negligence of other parties to bring legal claims against the individuals or entities responsible.

While most personal injury actions have a statute of limitations (time limit) of two years, family members only have one year to commence legal action relating to wrongful death in Oklahoma. The extremely limited amount of time to seek compensation makes it even more important for families to retain legal counsel as soon as possible.

Our firm can conduct an investigation and file all necessary paperwork before important deadlines so you and your family can take all the time you need to grieve without having to worry about making court appearances.
