Results
We fight for your rights! Though many cases settle before trial, we do not accept a case unless we are willing to take it to trial. Consequently, we prepare every case as though it will go to trial. As a result, we are always ready when a case goes to trial. Also, unlike many firms, our contract obligates us to appeal your case, where the case warrants appeal.
Why does Travis Law Office keep talking about insurance law?
To make a recovery for you in virtually every personal injury case, your attorney must understand insurance law. Where the defendant has no insurance coverage, you can “win,” but still not get any money to pay your bills. Similarly, if the defendant has insufficient coverage, you can “win” and not make a recovery, or make an insufficient recovery. We know where to look for every possible source of recovery (insurance) that may apply to your case. In short, we know how to get the maximum amount possible out of your claim and out of your award.
What types of cases does Travis Law Office handle?
Travis Law Office handles most insurance claim denials or personal injury claims.

What should I do at the scene if I’m in a car or truck wreck?
We answer this question in our article, “7 Steps to Protect Your Rights After a Wreck.”
What steps should I take after I leave the scene of a car or truck accident?
After a collision, focus first on getting well. We recommend getting the treatment you need to recover and get back to the life you had before the wreck.
You can probably resolve your property damage without needing to hire a lawyer. We address this subject at length in our article, “Settle Your Property Damage After a Wreck.”
How do I know if I have a strong case?
When you call Travis Law Office, our knowledgeable and experienced attorneys provide a free, initial consultation. In that consultation, we ask for the facts of your claim. We need to determine who caused the incident (“liability”), evaluate your losses (“damages”) and much more. We evaluate your claim based on these and other factors and tell you if we think you have a viable case. If we do not think you have a good case, we tell you why not. If we believe you have a viable claim outside our practice, we refer you to a reputable attorney practicing in that area.
Will the information I share with you be confidential?
Absolutely. Attorney-client privilege protects your information, even if we do not take your case. We even get your permission before we discuss your case with another attorney if your claim falls outside our practice.
What is the statute of limitations in Oklahoma?
Generally, a two-year statute of limitations applies to personal injury claims in Oklahoma. However, different statutes of limitation apply to different types of claims, both less than two years (assault claims and claims against government agencies, for example) and more (uninsured and underinsured motorists claims). If you do not resolve your claim, you must file a lawsuit within the applicable statute of limitation. If you fail to file a lawsuit in time, Oklahoma law forever bars your claim.
A knowledgeable attorney looks for every statute of limitation or other time limitation that may apply to your claim. This ensures you don’t miss a statute of limitation and your claim can proceed. In short, call an experienced attorney as soon as possible after an injury or unpaid insurance claim. Make sure to protect your rights and ensure your case may proceed.
Does Oklahoma law require all motor vehicles be insured?
In short, yes. Oklahoma has a law requiring all drivers to have liability insurance (compulsory minimum insurance law). But many drivers do not comply. If you have an injury from a wreck, contact an experienced attorney to protect your rights.
