FAQS

Chris Knight previously worked as an insurance defense lawyer for major insurers—giving him unique insight into how these companies operate. He understands their internal claims strategies and uses that knowledge to advocate more effectively for injured clients. With over three decades practicing in Oklahoma and a track record of multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements, Knight Law Firm is committed to maximizing compensation and not allowing insurance adjusters to undervalue your case.

Motorcycle accident cases often face bias from insurers or juries. Knight Law Firm meticulously collects evidence—including accident reconstruction, helmet law compliance, and footage—to prove fault clearly. They work with medical experts to evaluate the full impact of injuries like road rash, fractures, and head trauma. Knight advocates fiercely for crash victims—through negotiation or litigation—and aims to fully compensate for medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation, and pain and suffering.

Absolutely. Truck accidents in Oklahoma often involve heightened risk and complex liability. Knight Law Firm investigates driver logs, maintenance records, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) compliance, and cargo practices. They collaborate with accident reconstructionists and trucking safety experts to build strong claims. Whether pursuing claims against the driver, trucking company, or vehicle manufacturer, they aggressively pursue full compensation for catastrophic injuries, future medical care, and non-economic damages.

If you’re injured in a slip-and-fall on private or commercial property—such as a store, restaurant, or office—first document the hazard: take photos of wet floors, damaged surfaces, or obstructed walkways. Report the incident, seek immediate medical care, and obtain incident reports if available. Knight Law Firm examines whether the property owner knew or reasonably should have known of the dangerous condition. They combine evidence and testimony to pursue premises liability claims, seeking compensation for injury, pain and suffering, and economic loss.

Pedestrian accidents—especially hit-and-runs or intersections—often cause severe injury. Collect evidence: photos, witness contact, and police reports (if possible). Knight Law Firm examines driver fault, traffic signals, crosswalk use, and potential street design defects. They investigate whether a city or property owner bears liability for road conditions. They pursue claims against drivers or third parties who contributed. Knight understands Oklahoma pedestrian laws and strives for compensation covering medical bills, rehabilitation, lost income, and emotional distress.

A spinal cord injury is life-altering. Knight Law Firm works with spinal neurologists, rehabilitation specialists, and vocational experts to accurately assess long-term prognosis and care costs. They prepare detailed life-care plans—including medical devices, ongoing therapy, attendant care, and home modifications. They demand comprehensive economic and non-economic compensation, accounting for lost earning capacity, emotional trauma, and permanent disability. Their trial-ready approach presses insurers to negotiate fair settlements or face litigation.

Wrongful death occurs when someone dies due to another’s negligence—like a fatal car crash or medical error. In Oklahoma, eligible survivors may seek damages for funeral expenses, medical bills before death, loss of companionship, and financial support. Knight Law Firm guides families through filing as a personal representative, obtaining evidence, and negotiating with insurers or suing responsible parties. They pursue meaningful recovery with compassion and legal precision.

Broken bones often require surgeries, imaging, and longer recovery—incurring significant costs. Knight Law Firm carefully documents these injuries, tracks medical expenses, physical therapy, lost wages, and future care. They coordinate with orthopedic specialists to validate severity and prognosis. Because bone injuries usually carry stronger evidence, Knight leverages this to demand higher compensation for medical expenses, emotional distress, and long-term impact on mobility. Their approach ensures proper valuation beyond what insurers initially offer.

Yes. “Loss of value” refers to the depreciation of your vehicle beyond repair value after a crash. Even if your car is repaired, insurers may undervalue it. Knight Law Firm reviews repair costs and market value comparisons to argue for fair settlement. They ensure you recover not just structural repair but also diminished resale value, emergency transport expenses, and inconvenience. This attention to detail often results in more favorable compensation than insurers first propose.

Catastrophic brain injuries require complex evaluation. Knight Law Firm collaborates with neurologists, neuropsychologists, and rehabilitation specialists to assess cognitive deficits, behavioral changes, and treatment prognosis. They implement life-care plans that cover therapy, assistive devices, caregiver support, and vocational limitations. Victims receive compensation for medical costs, lost future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional impact. Their detailed documentation and strong legal strategy allow fair valuation beyond early insurance offers.

Bring all documentation available: accident reports, medical records and bills, correspondence with insurers, photos of injuries or scenes, pay stubs (for lost income), and witness contact details. If available, include repair estimates or disability assessments. Knight Law Firm offers a free consultation and uses this initial information to evaluate liability, damages, and strategy. The more organized your materials, the faster they can assess the case and start building a strong claim.

Timelines vary depending on complexity, treatment length, liability clarity, and negotiation dynamics. Simple claims may resolve in a few months, while catastrophic injury or wrongful death cases often take a year or longer, particularly if litigation is required. Knight Law Firm keeps clients fully informed, manages medical documentation, and pushes for timely resolution while preserving full value. Their trial preparedness ensures you're not pressured into accepting undervalued settlements.

Pain and suffering damages—though subjective—are quantified based on injury severity, recovery time, impact on daily life, and emotional trauma. Knight Law Firm compiles detailed medical records, expert assessments, and personal narratives to build evidence for these non-economic losses. They negotiate strongly with insurers or present persuasive arguments in court. Their goal is to secure compensation that reflects your actual physical and emotional toll—beyond just quantifiable bills.

Yes. If a hazard—like a pothole, broken guardrail, or poor signage—caused your injury, you may have a claim against a government entity. Knight Law Firm understands Oklahoma’s notice and filing requirements for street and highway claims. They gather photos, maintenance records, and expert testimony to establish liability. They pursue justice where government negligence caused harm. Timely legal help is essential due to strict deadlines in such cases.

Knight Law Firm operates on a contingency fee basis—meaning clients pay no upfront fees and only owe attorneys if they win compensation. This structure ensures representation is accessible and aligned with client interests. Expenses related to expert witnesses or documentation are typically advanced by the firm and reimbursed from recovery. If there’s no recovery, the client owes nothing. Knight shares full fee structure upfront, so clients know exactly how costs will be handled.

If you were injured in multiple incidents (e.g., sequential crashes or injuries from different events), Knight Law Firm coordinates each claim efficiently. They track separate evidence, deadlines, and medical documentation to avoid confusion. They negotiate with multiple insurers if needed and ensure none of your claims overlap or jeopardize compensation. Their coordinated approach ensures all injuries are accounted for, and clients receive full recovery across each case.

Oklahoma applies a comparative negligence standard: if you share fault, your recovery is reduced proportionally, but you can still recover if you are less than 50% at fault. Knight Law Firm works proactively to minimize your percentage of fault—through investigation, expert testimony, and evidence challenges—preserving as much compensation as possible. Their legal strategy focuses on showing that the other party bears primary responsibility.
