Since this is your first speeding ticket, you have a few options depending on your priorities and how you want to handle the potential impact on your driving record. In Oklahoma, paying the fine is the same as pleading guilty, which means the violation will go on your driving record and may affect... View More

No, you likely don't have to do the DUI course before getting your license back. DDS only requires the DUI course to be submitted if you are convicted of DUI, the Court may have made that part of your sentence, and you will need to get it done during your probation, but only as a term of your...

What you’re going through is painful and stressful, and it’s made even harder when medical costs start piling up without support. Filing a tort claim with a tribal entity like Choctaw Casino can be more complex than filing against a private business. Since tribal nations are sovereign, they... View More

You don’t have to accept the first offer from your insurance company, especially if you believe it doesn’t reflect your vehicle’s true market value. Even with full coverage, insurers sometimes lowball their initial payout, hoping policyholders won’t push back. If they're using the... View More

Sorry for your inconvenience during this time. First thing is if you are dissatisfied with the lawyer you currently have, then you are well within your rights to terminate their representation and hire a new lawyer. The new lawyer should be able to get the information from the original lawyer.... View More

It seems like you’re feeling understandably upset and confused about what happened during your interaction with the nurse. In general, healthcare professionals, including nurses, are mandated reporters, meaning they must report certain situations to authorities, especially if they believe a... View More

An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. To answer your question, you're dealing with a property loss or property damage case. It doesn't look like a "Bad Faith" claim (your posted category), since the carrier has the right to verify... View More

A Texas or Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. I'm sorry for your wife's ordeal. Carriers do deny claims on the basis of differing medical opinions. Only a local attorney could advise on the validity of the carrier's denial under... View More

Yes, you can still make a claim on your insurance. Your insurance company will then be subrogated to any claim you have against the movers or the surety on the bond.

An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney, most states have departments of insurance. They field many insurance-related questions from the public. Good luck

If the life insurance policy truly belongs to you, then all you have to do is call the life insurance company and ask, and you can update the beneficiary anytime you want. If you have been paying the premiums, then the life insurance policy probably belongs to you. If you have not been paying the... View More

You need to contact the insurance company immediately and notify them. My advice is get a Post Office Box and send a formal letter to the insurance company giving them that address. Most likely you will need to file a police report for the criminal actions that took place, which I see at least 4... View More

If the claimant wants to keep the car, yes they can say "well,you are getting back what the salvage value is." Now you need to determine how they figure that, and if what you get will allow you to repair the car to the level it can be inspected. If there are problems with that or other... View More

An Oklahoma attorney could answer you best, but your question remains open for two weeks. As a general matter, there might not be a great deal of EUO-specific law out there. It could possibly be addressed in state insurance regulations, either expressly or impliedly, as measures permitted by... View More

That is frustrating situation to say the least! If you have the driver's insurance information, then contact the insurance company and file a claim against the driver's insurance for the property damage to your vehicle, diminished value (if applicable), and any other property damage that...

The 2014 Administrative Workers’ Compensation Act allowed employers to “opt out” of the state workers’ compensation system as long as they provided equal or better benefits. Since that time, the Oklahoma Supreme Court struck down the “opt out” provision. Employers can self-insure, but... View More

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. YES, you should hire an attorney, if you haven't already. Representing yourself in Federal Court is much more difficult than in state courts, as I am sure you have learned by now.

Presumably they have an appraisers report saying there was damage. You have to prove their wasn't. Won't be that easy.

Lawyers give free consultations. If it did that much damage you may have an injury but just want to say "Oh, my shoulder, that 's nothing..." then months later you get a rotator cuff. So contact a member of the OK Trial Lawyers Assn --they give free consults. Look at your policy--do... View More
