When someone else’s carelessness causes your injury, the costs show up fast. Emergency room bills arrive, follow up appointments fill your calendar, and missed shifts shrink your paycheck. You may have been hit on the Broadway Extension, hurt in a fall at a local business, or injured in traffic along 2nd Street. In any of these cases, the insurance company will likely call early with an offer that sounds helpful but rarely covers what your injury will truly cost you and your family.

We gather the evidence, work with medical experts to document your injuries, and calculate the full value of your losses so the insurer cannot brush your claim aside.

How Our Edmond Personal Injury Lawyers Can Help You
When someone else’s carelessness injures you, the pressure starts right away. Medical bills arrive, paychecks stop, and an insurance adjuster may call asking for a recorded statement before you have had time to understand your injuries. Walsh & Franseen Insurance & Injury Attorneys steps in to take that pressure off you, so you can focus on your health and your family.
We investigate what happened, prove who was at fault under Oklahoma law, and pursue compensation for every loss, including medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. Oklahoma’s comparative negligence rules allow insurers to reduce or even eliminate your recovery by shifting blame onto you, so we build the evidence to push back. When an insurer refuses to make a fair offer, we are prepared to take your case to trial.
Here is what we handle for you from day one:
- Preserving evidence. We secure police reports, scene photos, surveillance footage, and witness statements before they are lost or erased.
- Documenting your injuries. We work with your doctors and medical experts to show the full cost of your injuries, including future treatment and lost earning ability.
- Handling the insurance company. We manage every call and letter from the insurer, so your words cannot be twisted and used against you.
- Protecting your deadline. Oklahoma generally gives you two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. We track every deadline so your right to compensation is not lost.
- Filing a lawsuit when needed. If a fair settlement is not on the table, we file suit and prepare your case to go before a jury.

What Is Your Case Worth?
There is no honest answer before your injury is fully evaluated. Value depends on the severity of your injuries, your long-term prognosis, lost income, the strength of the liability evidence, and the insurance coverage available.
Treat any early settlement offer skeptically. Insurers move fast to close claims cheaply before the true picture of your injuries emerges.

In our experience valuing personal injury claims out of Edmond and Oklahoma County, the first number an adjuster puts on the table rarely accounts for future medical care, and that gap is largest in cases involving INTEGRIS Health Edmond patients who need ongoing physical therapy or specialist follow-up. We build that future cost into the demand before any number is accepted.
What Compensation Can Injury Victims Recover in Edmond, OK?
Oklahoma law allows injured victims to seek three types of compensation:
- Economic damages: Medical bills, future treatment, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and out-of-pocket costs caused by the injury
- Non-economic damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Punitive damages: Available in cases involving reckless or intentional misconduct, designed to punish the wrongdoer, not just compensate you
“Derek and Jay were outstanding, professional, supportive and always clear! They made a stressful situation feel manageable and delivered great results. Highly recommend working with them!” – Pite Tineo
Who’s Responsible for Paying Damages?
Oklahoma follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover money as long as you are found to be 50% or less at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, so if you are found 20% at fault, you recover 80% of your damages.
Insurers routinely inflate your share of fault to reduce what they owe. We fight that with hard evidence.
A pattern we see often in Edmond personal injury claims is an insurer citing a police report’s preliminary fault notation as if it were final, even when that notation was based on statements taken at the scene before all the facts were known. We routinely obtain the full accident investigation file from the Edmond Police Department or the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and use it to correct that record before the adjuster’s fault percentage gets baked into a lowball offer.

Do You Have a Personal Injury Case?
You likely have a case if someone else’s negligence caused your injury and you have real, measurable losses. Oklahoma law requires proving four things: duty, breach, causation, and damages (duty: the other party had a legal obligation to act safely, breach: they failed to meet it, causation: their failure directly caused your injury, damages: you suffered financial or physical harm as a result).
If all four elements are present, you have grounds to pursue a claim. The sooner you contact an attorney, the better positioned you are to preserve the evidence needed to prove it.
How Long Do You Have to File in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma’s statute of limitations, the legal deadline to file a lawsuit, is two years from the date of injury for most personal injury cases. Wrongful death claims carry the same window measured from the date of death.
Waiting puts your case at risk. Evidence disappears and witnesses become harder to locate over time.
What we see across the claims we file in the Oklahoma County District Court is that evidence tied to the crash scene, skid marks, traffic camera footage, surveillance video from nearby businesses, disappears far faster than most clients expect, often within weeks rather than the full two years the law allows for filing.
How We Confront Insurance Bad Faith
Insurance companies have a legal duty to treat your claim fairly. When they deliberately stall, deny without reason, or make unreasonably low offers, that conduct is called bad faith, and it opens the door to additional legal remedies beyond your underlying claim.
Insurer Tactic | Our Response |
Fast, lowball offer before your treatment is complete | We reject premature settlements and fully document your damages first |
Requesting a recorded statement | We manage all insurer contact so their adjusters cannot build a case against you |
Inflating your share of fault | We use expert testimony and physical evidence to counter false narratives |
Delaying payment after a settlement is reached | We file bad-faith claims and pursue all available remedies |
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
You pay nothing up front. Every case we take is on a strict contingency fee basis. Our fee comes out of the settlement or verdict we win for you. If we don’t recover, you owe us nothing. Every case also starts with a completely free consultation.
What to Do After an Injury in Edmond
How you respond immediately after an injury can affect both your health and any potential legal claim.
Step 1: Get Medical Attention Right Away
See a doctor immediately, even if you feel fine. Gaps in medical treatment are one of the first tools insurers use to argue your injuries weren’t serious.
Step 2: Document the Scene and Your Injuries
Take photos of the accident location, your visible injuries, and property damage while you’re still there. Get contact information for any witnesses before they leave.
Step 3: Decline to Give a Recorded Statement
You are not legally required to provide a recorded statement to the other party’s insurer. Decline and direct them to our office, and statements given without legal counsel are routinely used to undercut your claim.
Step 4: Call Walsh & Franseen
Contact us as soon as possible. The earlier we get involved, the better we can preserve evidence and take the burden of dealing with the insurance company completely off your plate.
Will Your Case Settle or Go to Trial?
Most personal injury cases resolve through settlement, but the size of that settlement depends almost entirely on whether the insurer believes your attorney will actually take the case to court. We have a proven record of winning at trial, and insurance companies know it. That reputation is one of the most effective tools we bring to your negotiation.
“I was impressed by how professional and knowledgeable the attorneys were. They explained everything clearly and kept me updated throughout the process. Great firm!” – Gregorio Ramos

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Accept the Insurance Company’s First Settlement Offer?
No, first offers almost always arrive before the full cost of your injuries is clear and are designed to close your claim as cheaply as possible. Do not sign anything before speaking with an attorney.
What Happens if the At-Fault Driver Was Uninsured?
Your own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage may pay for your injuries when the at-fault driver has little or no insurance. We review your policy and pursue these claims on your behalf regularly.
Will My Health Insurer or Medical Provider Take Part of My Settlement?
Hospitals, health plans, Medicare, and Medicaid can place liens, formal legal claims, on your settlement to recover treatment costs they covered. We negotiate those liens directly so more money stays with you.
How Long Does a Personal Injury Case Take to Resolve?
Uncomplicated claims can settle in a few months, while cases that go to trial may take a year or more. Early legal involvement, prompt medical care, and thorough documentation keep things moving.
Can I Switch Personal Injury Lawyers if I’m Unhappy with My Current Firm?
Yes, you can change attorneys at any point during your case. The legal fee is typically divided between the outgoing and incoming firms based on work contributed, so it rarely changes what you owe.
