Winter changes everything on Norman roads. A quick cold snap, early morning frost, or an unexpected ice patch on Lindsey or Highway 9 can turn an ordinary commute into a dangerous situation. When visibility drops and roads freeze, even careful drivers can find themselves in a crash. If you were involved in a winter-weather [...]
When a child slips, trips, or falls at school or daycare, parents often face two emotions at once — relief that it wasn’t worse, and frustration that it happened at all. Falls in these environments are more common than people realize, and they can lead to real injuries: broken bones, concussions, sprains, and long-term [...]
Driver fatigue is one of the most common — and most dangerous — causes of semi wrecks in Oklahoma. When an exhausted driver is behind the wheel of a 40-ton vehicle, the consequences can be catastrophic. Even a momentary lapse in alertness can lead to rear-end collisions, lane departures, rollover crashes, and fatal highway [...]
A rear-end collision can happen anywhere in Midwest City — on I-40, Air Depot Blvd, SE 15th, or even while sitting at a red light outside Town Center Plaza. These crashes often feel “minor” at first, but neck pain, headaches, back injuries, and car damage can show up hours or days later. If you [...]
After a serious semi wreck in Oklahoma, you’d expect the truth to come out quickly. But trucking companies — and the insurers who back them — often move fast to protect themselves, not the injured victims. Their goal is simple: minimize their liability and pay as little as possible.

If you’ve been hurt in a hit-and-run accident in Moore, Oklahoma, you’re not alone — and you’re not out of options.

The shock of the impact is bad enough, but knowing the [...]
Slipping on a wet floor at work, tripping over cables in a back room, or falling on a loading dock can leave you seriously injured — and unsure what kind of case you have. Is it just workers’ compensation? Can it be a personal injury claim? Or both? At Aldridge Teasdale, we talk to [...]
After an accident, many injured people worry they can’t file a claim because they were “partially at fault.” The truth is, Oklahoma law recognizes that accidents are rarely black-and-white — and you may still be entitled to compensation even if you made a mistake. This concept is called comparative fault, and understanding how it [...]
If you’ve been in an accident in Oklahoma, you’ve probably heard the terms “bodily injury” and “pain and suffering.” They sound similar — but legally, they mean two very different things. Understanding the difference can make a huge impact on your personal injury claim and how much compensation you may be entitled to recover. [...]
Purcell’s small-town charm hides a big problem: heavy truck traffic cutting through narrow local streets. Between Highway 74, I-35, and the busy crossings near Main Street, oversized vehicles and tight intersections have made Purcell one of central Oklahoma’s most overlooked danger zones for serious crashes. At Aldridge Teasdale, we’ve represented drivers and families hurt [...]
