A car accident can turn over your life in seconds. One moment you're driving to work or picking up your kids, and the next you're dealing with injuries, a totaled vehicle, and an insurance adjuster who doesn't have your best interests in mind. If another driver's negligence caused your crash, you have the right to pursue full compensation for your losses.
At the Law Office of Michael R. Green, PLLC, we represent injured drivers, passengers, and families throughout Tulsa, OK, and the surrounding communities. We know Oklahoma traffic law, we know how insurance companies operate, and we know how to build a case that holds negligent drivers accountable. Call (918) 743-2500 today for a free, no-obligation consultation. You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
Common Causes of Car Accidents in Tulsa
Car accidents rarely happen without a reason. In most cases, a driver made a choice that put others at risk. Our attorneys regularly handle claims involving:
- Distracted driving, including texting and phone use behind the wheel
- Speeding and reckless driving on Tulsa highways and surface streets
- Drunk or drug-impaired driving
- Running red lights or stop signs
- Failure to yield at intersections
- Rear-end collisions caused by tailgating
- Poor weather conditions combined with driver negligence
Identifying the cause of your crash matters because it determines who bears legal responsibility. Our team investigates each accident from the ground up and gathers police reports, traffic camera footage, and witness statements to build a clear picture of what happened.
Compensation Available After a Tulsa Car Accident
Oklahoma law allows injured drivers to pursue compensation for both their financial losses and the physical toll of the accident. Depending on the facts of your case, you may be entitled to recover:
Medical Expenses
Lost Wages
Vehicle Repair or Replacement Costs
Pain & Suffering
Rehabilitation & Therapy Costs
And More
Our attorneys calculate the full scope of your losses before we ever discuss a settlement number with an insurance company. We want your compensation to reflect not just today's bills but the long-term impact of your injuries.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Tulsa
The steps you take immediately after a crash can affect your health and your legal claim. If you're able to do so safely, consider the following:
- Call 911 and request medical attention if anyone is injured.
- Move to a safe location if possible, but avoid leaving the scene entirely.
- Exchange information with the other driver without discussing fault.
- Take photos of the vehicles, the road, and any visible injuries.
- Seek medical evaluation as soon as possible, even if you feel fine.
- Avoid giving a recorded statement to an insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
- Contact our Tulsa car accident law firm promptly, so evidence can be preserved.
Insurance companies often move fast to limit their exposure, so acting quickly helps protect your rights from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tulsa Car Accident Claims
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma generally allows two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Waiting too long can jeopardize your right to compensation, so it's best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
What if the other driver didn't have insurance?
You may still have options through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Our attorneys can review your policy and explain what compensation may be available.
Will my car accident case go to trial?
Most car accident claims settle before trial, but we prepare every case as though it could end up in front of a jury. That preparation often leads insurers to offer fairer settlements.
What does it cost to hire a Tulsa car accident lawyer?
There is no upfront cost to hire our firm. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. Your initial consultation is always free, and you can discuss your case without any financial risk.
