Don’t Wait to Take Action Your Time to File Is Limited
In Oklahoma, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. That might sound like a long time, but waiting before you get a lawyer involved can make it difficult to recover what your claim is truly worth. If you wait too long, you could miss out on your chance at compensation entirely.
At The Tawwater Law Firm, our Oklahoma City pedestrian accident attorneys know how crucial those early steps are to the success of a case. Let us make a difficult process easier for you, starting with a free consultation. We can begin working immediately to gather evidence, build your case, and fight for maximum compensation on your behalf. You don’t owe anything unless we win for you, so there’s no risk in reaching out.
At The Tawwater Law Firm, our pedestrian accident lawyers are here to take the legal burden off your shoulders so you can focus on what matters most—your recovery.

Can Pedestrians Be at Fault in Oklahoma?
It’s possible to be found at partial fault as a pedestrian, but it doesn’t necessarily disqualify you from compensation. Oklahoma follows a modified comparative negligence system. That means even if you were partially at fault (for example, you crossed the street outside the marked sidewalk), you may still be eligible for compensation – as long as you were less than 51% responsible for the accident. Your total awardable compensation would be reduced by your percentage of fault.
At The Tawwater Law Firm in Oklahoma City, our team understands how to analyze evidence, work with experts, and build compelling cases that minimize or eliminate any fault placed on the pedestrian. We don’t idly stand by while insurance companies place the blame on victims.
Common Causes of Pedestrian Accidents
Every pedestrian accident is unique, but some of the most common causes our attorneys see in Oklahoma City include:
Speeding/Failure to Stop: Running red lights, ignoring stop signs, and failing to yield at crosswalks are leading causes of pedestrian collisions.
Distracted Driving: Cell phone use, eating, or adjusting the radio takes a driver's eyes off the road, often with tragic consequences.
Driver Fatigue or Intoxication: Drowsy or impaired drivers pose a serious danger to everyone, especially vulnerable pedestrians.
Defective Auto Parts: In some cases, faulty brakes or acceleration systems are to blame. We’re not afraid to take on major automakers if that’s where the evidence leads.
Commercial and Government Vehicles: Our personal injury lawyers have handled cases involving big box delivery trucks, rideshare drivers, and even city vehicles. These can be complex cases, but we know how to hold powerful entities accountable.
For over 50 years, we've stood with real people, not big corporations or insurance companies. Our attorneys work to help victims rebuild their lives after serious injury every day. If you or a loved one has been hurt in a pedestrian accident in Oklahoma City, we’re ready to take your call.
