Not Every Case Is a Good Case — And That’s Okay
If you’re wondering, “Will a lawyer even take my case?” — you’re not alone. At Aldridge Teasdale, we get that question every day. And while we want to help everyone, the truth is: some cases just aren’t the right fit.
But here’s the good news — if we do take your case, it’s because we believe in it. And if we don’t, we’ll still try to point you in the right direction.
What We Look For
We don’t expect you to know all the legal terms — that’s our job. But there are a few key things we consider when reviewing a new injury case:
- Clear Liability: Is someone else legally responsible for what happened? If it’s a “true accident,” we may not be able to help.
- Serious Injury or Impact: Have you had medical treatment, missed work, or experienced long-term effects from the accident?
- Timeliness: Are we still within Oklahoma’s statute of limitations (typically 2 years for personal injury)?
- Evidence: Are there photos, reports, or witnesses that can help prove what happened?
- Client Engagement: Are you ready to work with us, stay responsive, and be an active part of the process?
We Take Cases Where We Can Truly Make a Difference
We’re not a firm that chases quick settlements just to pad stats. We take on cases we believe in — ones where our work will lead to real recovery for someone who’s been wronged.
If we don’t think we can improve your situation or win a meaningful outcome, we’ll tell you that up front. No runaround. No false promises.
Some Cases Are Better Handled Without a Lawyer
That might sound strange coming from a law firm, but it’s true. If your injuries are minor, fault is crystal clear, and the insurance company is already paying out, legal help might not be necessary. In those situations, we’ll give you the tools to move forward on your own — no pressure, no fee.
But When We Take Your Case — We Go All In
When you hire Aldridge Teasdale, you get direct access to a real attorney who’s committed to your outcome. We only take cases we believe we can win — and that focus allows us to give each client the time, resources, and energy they deserve.
Want to Know If We’re a Match?
The best way to find out is to request a free case review. We’ll look at your situation, walk you through your options, and give you an honest answer — no fees, no games, just straight talk.
If your case is the right fit, we’ll fight like hell to get you the justice you deserve.
