Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Oklahoma?

Under Oklahoma law, a wrongful death claim must be filed by the personal representative (executor) of the deceased person’s estate. This representative acts on behalf of the surviving family members—such as a spouse, children, or parents—who are entitled to receive any compensation awarded.

Damages recovered in a wrongful death case are distributed to the surviving family according to Oklahoma’s inheritance laws. The statute of limitations generally gives two years from the date of death to file a claim, so it’s important to act quickly to protect your rights.

Oklahoma Injury Law Firm Austin & Banks

Compensation Available for Families

A wrongful death claim can provide financial support and accountability after a tragic loss. While no amount of money can replace a loved one, compensation can ease the financial burden and help your family move forward. Recoverable damages may include:

  • Medical and funeral expenses related to the death

  • Lost income and future financial support the deceased would have provided

  • Loss of companionship, care, and guidance for surviving family members

  • Pain and suffering experienced by the deceased before death

  • Emotional distress and mental anguish of survivors

Austin & Banks Law Firm works to pursue every form of compensation available under Oklahoma law to ensure your family receives the justice and closure you deserve.

Highly recommend. They were always available and very responsive to answer questions, even after hours and on weekends. They are always friendly and guided me through the process. Thanks to these wonderful people I did not have to take responsibility for an accident I did not cause.

My time to eat crow. This was my second law firm I had and unfortunately after being in pain and low sleep I ended up letting go of this attorney Mr. Banks. I have regretted it since. Not easy to admit when you did something stupid but at least can make sure you do something right and admit when you were wrong.

I was so impressed with TR Banks and the Austin & Banks team! I was involved in a head on collision, in which the other driver was totally negligent. TR and Melissa worked tirelessly on my case, and TR made sure I received the best settlement possible! I'm so grateful! TR Banks is a great attorney and Melissa is wonderful as well! I highly recommend Austin & Banks Law firm. Thank you TR, Melissa, and the entire team.
