Catastrophic injuries aren’t limited to one kind of accident. In Norman, the most serious cases frequently come from situations like:
- High-speed commuting collisions on I-35 and surrounding corridors, where impact forces can lead to traumatic brain injury, spinal trauma, and internal injuries.
- Intersection and turning crashes in busier downtown and residential commercial areas, where visibility, lane changes, and timing disputes become central.
- Construction and industrial jobsite incidents, including falls, struck-by accidents, equipment failures, and unsafe staging.
- Pedestrian and cyclist injuries in higher-activity areas (especially around school schedules), where severe trauma can occur even at lower speeds.
- Facility and premises incidents—such as unsafe conditions in public spaces—where liability may involve contractors, property managers, or maintenance vendors.
Because these cases can involve multiple responsible parties, the “who’s at fault” question is often more complicated than people expect.
