- Criminal DefensePersonal Injury Law works differently than criminal law. A personal injury attorney is not trying to convict anyone of a crime. They work to get compensation for accident victims that suffered injury due to another party’s negligence. The compensation could be an insurance settlement or an award of damages from the court. This type of compensation is designed to provide relief for losses suffered during and after the accident that caused the injury.
- DUI/DWIDrunk Driving Accidents — A driver can be arrested for driving under the influence in Oklahoma with a blood or breath alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more. The legal limit is even lower for certain other kinds of drivers, as a commercial driver can be charged at a blood alcohol concentration of 0.04, and minors commit drunk driving offenses when they have a blood alcohol concentration of only 0.02. Remember that a criminal case is separate from a civil action, so a driver acquitted of DUI or who otherwise avoids a conviction can still be held civilly liable.
