Oklahoma City Pedestrian Accident Lawyer
A pedestrian accident can leave you with physical pain, medical bills, lost income and emotional trauma. When struck by a car, Oklahoma law allows you to pursue compensation from the negligent parties who cause the damage.

At CG Law, PLLC, our lawyers represent injury victims in Oklahoma City and across the State of Oklahoma. Led by attorney Cody N. Gayer, our legal team brings a unique understanding of accident-related injuries and is committed to helping injured pedestrians recover fair compensation.
Common Oklahoma Pedestrian Injuries

- Fractured legs and knee ligament injuries
- Pelvic fractures
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken ribs and internal organ damage
- Wrist, arm and shoulder fractures
- Severe road rash and lacerations
Many of these injuries require surgery and ongoing medical care. Our attorney can work to hold negligent drivers accountable.
An Overview Of Oklahoma Pedestrian Accident Claims
Under Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes, Chapter 11, Article V, drivers must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing within crosswalks when traffic signals are not controlling the intersection. On the other hand, pedestrians must obey traffic control devices and other rules.
Oklahoma follows a modified comparative negligence system, meaning you may recover compensation provided you are 50% or less at fault. However, your recovery is reduced by the percentage of fault attributable to you. Our pedestrian accident lawyer can work aggressively to pursue your full financial compensation.
Compensation Available For Pedestrian Injuries
If you were struck by a car, you may recover compensation for economic damages, including:
- Medical expenses
- Future medical treatment
- Rehabilitation costs
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Out-of-pocket expenses
Moreover, you can recover noneconomic damages, including:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Permanent disability and loss of enjoyment of life
- Scarring and disfigurement
We can work with medical experts to carefully evaluate every damage to help ensure nothing is overlooked.
