Frequently Asked Questions

Below are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from injured people and their families across Tulsa and Northeast Oklahoma. If you do not see your question here, contact Truskett Law for a free consultation.

How much does it cost to hire Truskett Law?

We handle personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis. That means you pay no upfront costs and no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you, and your initial consultation is always free.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Oklahoma?

In most Oklahoma personal injury cases the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury. Some situations carry shorter deadlines or exceptions, so it is best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

What is my personal injury case worth?

Every case is different. Value depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, long-term effects, and the available insurance coverage. We evaluate your situation during your free consultation and explain what your claim may be worth.

What should I do after an accident?

Seek medical attention right away, even if you feel fine. Document the scene with photos, collect contact information for any witnesses, and avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies before speaking with an attorney. Then contact us for a free case review.

Will my case go to trial?

Many personal injury claims settle out of court, but not all. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which puts us in the strongest position to negotiate a fair settlement and ready to fight in court if the insurance company will not be reasonable.

What types of cases does Truskett Law handle?

We represent people hurt in car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, as well as slip and falls, nursing home neglect, dog bites, defective products, medical malpractice, and wrongful death claims throughout Tulsa and Northeast Oklahoma.
