  I don't know if every city has a local paper that reports on traffic conditions at their website. However, in looking at newsok.com every morning, I'm becoming increasingly shocked at the amount of accidents happening in construction zones. From semi-tractors, to passenger automobiles, it appears the negligence of one driver can have devastating effects. For instance, this morning, it is...

• Auto Accident - Always Seek a Medical Opinion

  Jeremy Thurman | August 21, 2007 10:32 AM | 0 CommentsOklahoma City, OK

  In recent years, I've found insurance companies consistently disputing the nature of a client's injuries. One of the biggest complaints I hear is that the client did not immediately seek medical treatment. Insurance adjusters allegations are ridiculous, but more than ever I find it imperative that a client seek immediate medical treatment at an Emergency Room to ensure proper recovery for...

  I for one am sick and tired of insurance companies evaluating injuries on the "impact" or amount of damages to the automobile. I recently received a letter from a notorious insurance company which basically said that since the impact was low, your client better not have very many injuries. In other words, no matter how hard the hit was, since it didn't do much damage to your well built and...
