Personal Injury Law
Stipe Law Firm represents clients in personal injury cases arising from motor vehicle accidents, nursing home abuse, and workplace incidents. Our attorneys advocate for compensation covering medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. With decades of courtroom experience, we handle complex negotiations with insurance companies and pursue litigation when necessary to protect client rights.
Wrongful Death Claims
We assist families in pursuing wrongful death claims due to negligence, medical malpractice, or workplace accidents. Our team helps recover compensation for funeral costs, lost income, and emotional distress while navigating Oklahoma's two-year statute of limitations. We provide compassionate guidance through probate court proceedings and family negotiations.
Oil Field Accidents
Our firm specializes in oil field accident cases involving explosions, equipment failures, and toxic exposure. We collaborate with industry experts to prove safety violations and secure compensation for catastrophic injuries or fatalities. Services include workers' compensation claims and third-party liability lawsuits against negligent contractors or equipment manufacturers.
Insurance Bad Faith
Stipe Law Firm challenges insurance companies that deny or delay legitimate claims. We handle bad faith litigation for denied property damage, business interruption, and agent negligence cases. Our attorneys prove breach of contract and fiduciary duty to recover policy benefits and punitive damages for unfair claims practices.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
We represent victims of car, truck, motorcycle, and bus accidents caused by negligence. Our services include determining liability, negotiating with insurers, and litigating uninsured/underinsured motorist claims. We address complex issues like comparative fault and catastrophic injury compensation while adhering to Oklahoma's modified comparative fault rules.
