How Oklahoma’s Modified Comparative Negligence Law Affects Your Claim
March 27, 2025
What If You Were Partially at Fault for an Accident?
Oklahoma follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover compensation—as long as you are less than 51% at fault.
✔️ If you are 20% at fault, your compensation is reduced by 20%.
✔️ If you are 51% or more at fault, you receive nothing.
Example: If your damages total $100,000 but you are 30% responsible, you will receive $70,000 after the reduction.
Why Insurance Companies Use Comparative Negligence Against You
✔️ Insurers try to blame you to reduce payouts.
✔️ Without an attorney, you may be unfairly assigned more fault than you deserve.
