Evidence that carries bicycle accident cases in Stillwater
- Photos before repairs — vehicles, the scene, skid marks, and visible injuries, taken before anything is fixed or healed.
- Medical records from day one — the first visit ties the injury to the incident; gaps in treatment become the insurer's argument.
- Witness names and numbers — collected at the scene, because witnesses scatter quickly.
- Camera footage — dashcams, doorbells, and business cameras near the scene often recorded it, and most systems overwrite within days or weeks.
- Official reports — the report number is the key that opens the record later.
- A simple log — symptoms, missed work, and expenses, kept as they happen.
None of this requires deciding anything about lawyers — it just preserves the claim while the evidence still exists.
How a participating law firm may review your situation

What information to prepare
- The date and location of what happened

- Insurance or employer information, as applicable
Why quick action matters in Oklahoma
Oklahoma generally allows two years from the date of injury for most personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits (12 O.S. 95). Claims involving a government entity are much tighter: a written notice of claim within one year under the Governmental Tort Claims Act, then a short window to sue once the claim is denied — and damages are capped by statute. Evidence fades fast either way: skid marks weather, video gets erased, witnesses scatter. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
