Commonly Asked Questions

What types of damages can I recover in a wrongful death lawsuit?

In a wrongful death lawsuit, you may be entitled to various types of damages, including medical expenses incurred before death, funeral and burial costs, lost income and benefits that the deceased would have provided, and compensation for pain and suffering experienced by the family. Additionally, you may seek damages for loss of companionship and emotional distress.

How long do I have to file a wrongful death lawsuit in Oklahoma?

In Oklahoma, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the death. This means you have a limited time to take legal action to seek compensation for your loss. It’s important to consult with a legal professional in Norman as soon as possible to ensure that you meet all necessary deadlines and to gather the evidence needed to support your claim.

Can I still file a wrongful death lawsuit if the death was partially my loved one's fault?

Yes, you can still file a wrongful death lawsuit even if your loved one was partially at fault for the incident. Oklahoma follows a comparative negligence rule, which means that damages can be awarded based on the degree of fault attributed to each party involved. If your loved one is found to be partially responsible, the compensation you receive may be reduced by their percentage of fault.
