Douglas J. Smith is an experienced and affordable Norman Oklahoma Lawyer. Legal representation is available for Auto Accidents with Personal Injuries, Criminal Defense, DUI/ DWI, Expungements, and Family Law cases for the Cleveland County District in Norman, the McClain County District in Purcell and the Oklahoma County District in Oklahoma City.

The time period shortly after an Automobile Accident can be very frightening as well as disorienting. It is likely that many questions and concerns are running through your head. If you or someone you love has been injured in any type of vehicle resulting in a collision caused by someone else’s carelessness, you should seek legal advice of an Auto Accident Attorney immediately — before you discuss the matter with an insurance adjuster and before signing any documents.

Auto Accidents can vary in severity from a simple fender bender to an unforgivable deadly crash. A more serious Accident will be investigated by law enforcement in order to determine the cause. Automobile Accidents can result in an array of injuries from whiplash to hearing loss, broken bones to burns. If you were a passenger, not the driver, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, loss of income, disability, as well as pain and suffering.

Most Accidents are settled outside of the legal system with the insurance company of the driver’s involved. Of course, insurance companies are businesses and one of their concerns is in limiting the amount of money that they pay out. When an insurance company presents a settlement offer, it is in the victim’s best interests to discuss it with a Lawyer before signing any documents. Douglas J. Smith is familiar with the many tactics that insurance companies use to get you to settle quickly and for less compensation than you deserve.
