Oklahoma City Car Accident Lawyer

Oklahoma City sits at the crossroads of I-35, I-40, and I-44, with heavy daily traffic funneling through interchanges like the Crosstown and high-volume intersections along Broadway Extension, NW 23rd Street, and Memorial Road. That density, combined with fast-moving highway merges and frequent lane changes, makes crashes a near-daily reality for drivers across the metro. If you’ve been hurt in a crash, call our Oklahoma City car accident lawyer at Pasquali Law Firm today at (405) 605-8380. With over 25 years of courtroom experience, we fight insurance companies to help crash victims across Oklahoma City, Edmond, Moore, and Norman recover full compensation.

Types of Cases our Oklahoma City Car Accident Lawyer Handles

Every crash is unique, but many Oklahoma City accidents share common causes. Our attorneys handle:

Rear-end collisions – Often cause neck and back injuries on busy roads like I-235 and Broadway Extension.
T-bone or side-impact crashes – Common at intersections such as NW 23rd Street or Penn Ave.
Head-on collisions – Among the deadliest accidents on I-35, I-40, and OK-74.
Drunk or distracted driving accidents – Despite Oklahoma’s DUI and texting-while-driving laws, negligence still causes serious harm.
Hit-and-run & uninsured motorist claims – We pursue recovery when the at-fault driver can’t be found or insured.
Multi-vehicle pileups – Complex highway crashes requiring expert accident reconstruction.

Many of these crashes trace back to a handful of common causes of car accidents in Oklahoma City, from distracted driving to unsafe lane changes, and they cluster heavily around the metro’s most dangerous roads and intersections, where heavy commuter volume and complex highway merges raise the odds of a serious collision.

Steps to Protect Your Rights After a Crash

Insurance companies move quickly after a crash, often before victims fully understand their rights. Our full guide on what to do after a car accident in Oklahoma City walks through each of these steps in more depth.

Call 911 and seek medical care immediately.
Document the scene—photos, witness contacts, vehicle damage.
Avoid speaking to the other driver’s insurer without legal advice.
Contact Pasquali Law Firm to protect your claim from day one.

Before accepting any offer, it helps to understand how insurance companies handle car accident claims in Oklahoma, since early settlement offers rarely reflect the full cost of a serious injury.

Don’t Let Insurers Undervalue Your Claim

Insurance adjusters may delay, deny, or lowball settlements. Our Oklahoma City car accident lawyer will build strong evidence-based cases and won’t hesitate to take your claim to court.

Injuries like back injuries and whiplash are especially prone to being undervalued, since symptoms can take days or even weeks to fully appear. Insurers are aware of that delay and often use it to justify a lowball offer before the true extent of the injury has been documented.
