Personal Injury Overview

Generally, in a personal injury case, the victim seeks to obtain compensation by proving that another party was responsible for his or her injuries.  An injured person may be able to receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, among other damages. 

At the Law Office of James M. Levine, we have recovered millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts for injury victims.  We have expertise in handling a variety of personal injury cases, including:

Automobile and Trucking Accidents

When someone is injured in an automobile or trucking accident, the insurance companies seek to determine who was at fault and whether and for whom compensation is called for.  Be aware, however, that insurance adjusters are generally focused on doing whatever will save their company the most money.  Accordingly, insurance adjusters will not advise an injured party of all of their rights or help the injured party determine what course of action is in his or her best interest.

If you have been injured in an automobile or trucking accident, you need a lawyer to advise you on how best to protect your rights.  This is true no matter how small or large your injury may be; in fact, seemingly minor injuries often turn into chronic ones over time, affecting your quality of life.  For this reason, it is crucial that you act quickly following an accident to document and seek medical treatment for all symptoms you are experiencing and retain an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible.

Serious Burns

Depending on the severity of the burn, an injury of this nature can create a range of devastating consequences for the victim, including physical pain, change in appearance, and emotional strain and distress.  A serious burn can require months or years of treatment, and as with other injuries, can lead to lost wages and other missed opportunities, as well as costly medical bills. 
If you have been burned in an accident, it is crucial that you immediately seek both medical treatment and legal advice.  An experienced personal injury lawyer can protect all of your legal rights and help you obtain the compensation you deserve.

Medical Malpractice

In most medical malpractice cases, the question of liability hinges on whether the doctor breached his or her duty of care, and whether that breach was a cause of the plaintiff's injuries.  Due to the number of players potentially involved in these cases, including insurance companies, employer hospitals, and other parties, medical malpractice litigation can involve a myriad of complicated issues.

If you think you may be a victim of medical malpractice, seek legal advice as soon as possible in order to make sure that all of your legal rights are preserved.  At The Law Office of James M. Levine, we can assess and investigate all of the issues involved, determine the best possible strategy, and present the evidence so as to increase the chances of obtaining a favorable result.

Seek Experienced Legal Counsel As Early As Possible

If you have been injured in an accident, the sooner you retain counsel, the better your rights will be protected.  As time passes, witnesses' memories deteriorate, or witnesses move away and become impossible to locate.  Over time, evidence can be lost or destroyed.  Furthermore, statutes of limitations can prevent recovery after a certain amount of time has passed since the injury occurred.  It is essential for counsel to have the opportunity to contact witnesses immediately, see to the proper preservation of evidence, and stay ahead of filing deadlines.  At the Law Office of James M. Levine, we offer contingency fee arrangements, meaning that we do not collect attorney's fees unless we successfully win a settlement or verdict in your favor.  If you need experienced legal representation in Norman, Oklahoma City, or anywhere in Central or Southern Oklahoma, contact The Law Office of James M.
