Types of Personal Injury Litigation We Handle
Nursing Home Negligence
We represent nursing home residents and their families in cases involving negligent care in facilities across Tulsa County and surrounding towns. Staff misconduct or understaffing in these facilities often results in serious injuries. To address this, our team investigates these incidents and pursues accountability on behalf of vulnerable individuals and their families.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Our attorneys handle personal injury claims arising from car, motorcycle, and truck accidents in Tulsa and throughout northeastern Oklahoma. Whether the collision occurred on Highway 75, I-44, or a local road in Broken Arrow or Jenks, we help clients recover damages for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Commercial Vehicle Injuries
We have experience representing victims seriously injured in crashes involving semi-trucks and commercial vehicles traveling through Tulsa and nearby corridors. Additionally, these high-stakes cases often involve multiple parties and complex insurance issues. Our firm aggressively pursues compensation for long-term injuries and financial losses.
Medical Malpractice
We represent patients harmed by medical negligence across the Tulsa metro area, including cases involving surgical errors, misdiagnoses, and improper treatment at hospitals and clinics. Our attorneys work with qualified experts to evaluate medical records and pursue justice for those affected by professional malpractice.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Claims
If a driver without sufficient insurance injured you, we’ll help you file a claim through your own auto policy. We assist clients throughout Tulsa, Bixby, and surrounding cities in understanding their coverage and negotiating with insurers for full compensation.
Premises Liability
Property owners in Tulsa and nearby towns have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. When they fail to do so, we represent clients injured on dangerous properties—such as slip and fall incidents or negligent security cases—in retail stores, apartment complexes, and public spaces throughout the region.
Product Liability
We help clients injured by defective or unreasonably dangerous products. These claims often involve manufacturing defects, design flaws, or inadequate warnings. As a result, our legal team investigates product failures and holds manufacturers accountable for the harm caused.

Frequently Asked Questions
A personal injury case arises when someone is harmed due to another person’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions. For example, this includes car accidents, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, and more.
Oklahoma’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury. However, certain exceptions apply, such as when the injured person is a minor or when the harm isn’t immediately discovered.
While not legally required, working with an experienced personal injury attorney increases your chances of securing fair compensation. Without legal representation, insurance companies often offer low settlements that fail to cover your full losses.
The value of a case depends on several factors—including the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. To ensure fair results, our attorneys evaluate each case individually and pursue maximum compensation.
If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may still recover compensation through your own auto insurance policy. Our firm helps you navigate this process and negotiate with your insurer for a fair outcome.
Yes. Oklahoma follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation if you were less than 51% at fault, but your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Some claims settle in a few months, while others—especially those involving serious injuries or disputed liability—may take a year or more. Regardless of the timeline, we keep clients informed at every stage of the process.
Most personal injury cases are resolved through settlement. However, if a fair agreement cannot be reached, our attorneys are fully prepared to take your case to trial.
You may be entitled to compensation for:
– Medical expenses (past and future)
– Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
– Pain and suffering
– Property damage
– Punitive damages (in rare cases of gross negligence or misconduct)
At Schaffer Herring PLLC, we handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you don’t pay attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.
