Why This Firm

Workers' compensation is not a sideline here. It is the practice.

Look at almost any injury firm in Oklahoma and you will find workers’ compensation somewhere around item six in a dropdown menu — after the car wrecks, under the dog bites. Flynn Law Firm was built the other way around.

The firm was founded in 2000 by attorneys who had worked at larger firms and did not like what they saw there: clients treated as file numbers, calls that went unreturned, bills that grew faster than the case did. The fix was not complicated. Answer the phone. Explain the process in plain language. Never take a case you cannot give attention to.

We have never represented an insurance company or an employer. Not once, not in twenty-five years.

One side only

We represent injured people. We do not defend insurers or employers, so there is never a question about whose interests we are protecting.

Bilingual by design

Spanish-speaking staff answer the phone — not an interpreter line you have to schedule. For many Oklahoma workers this is the difference between a claim and no claim.

You talk to your lawyer

Large-firm expertise, small-firm attention. You will know who is handling your file, and you will be able to reach them.

Denials are our daily work

A denied claim is one of the most common reasons people call this office. It is a routine part of the job, not an emergency we are unprepared for.

Nothing up front

Contingency fee on every case. If there is no recovery, there is no attorney fee. The consultation costs nothing and obligates you to nothing.

Northeast Oklahoma roots

Offices in Tulsa and Claremore, with clients across Broken Arrow, Owasso, Bartlesville, Muskogee, Sapulpa, Pryor and beyond.

How injury law works in Oklahoma

It is all injury law. Oklahoma just uses two different courts.

Getting hurt at work is a personal injury. The only real difference is where the claim goes — and that difference changes what you have to prove and what you can recover.

Hurt at work

Goes to the Workers' Compensation Commission, not an ordinary courthouse. You do not have to prove anyone was at fault — broadly, that you were on the clock and doing your job. In exchange, the system does not pay for pain and suffering.

Hurt by someone else

Goes to district court as an ordinary injury claim. Here you do have to prove fault — but the recovery is not capped the same way, and it does include pain and suffering and full lost earnings.

A lot of injuries are both — and the second one gets missed.

If you were driving for work and another motorist hit you, that is a workers' compensation claim and a claim against the driver. Same with a subcontractor on your site, or equipment that failed. The second claim is the one that pays for pain and suffering, and people lose it simply by assuming the whole thing is a comp case. How that works →

What actually happens

Nobody explains this part. So we will.

Most people who call us have never hired a lawyer before and have no idea what they are agreeing to. Here is the whole process, start to finish.
1
Step One

The call

Free, confidential, and usually the same day. You describe what happened. We tell you honestly whether you have a claim worth pursuing — including when the answer is no.

2
Step two

We build the file

Medical records, wage documentation, the incident report, witness statements, and proof that notice was given. Most claims are won or lost on this paperwork long before anyone sees a courtroom.

3
Step three

We press the claim

Filing with the Workers’ Compensation Commission or with the at-fault party’s insurer, disputing denials, and challenging a rating or an offer that does not reflect the injury.

4
Step four

Resolution

A settlement or an award. We handle the paperwork, the liens and the closing details, and you receive a clear accounting of every dollar before anything is finalised.

In their words

What clients say

Se habla español

Una llamada. En español. Sin intérprete.

Si usted se lastimó en el trabajo o en un accidente en Oklahoma, puede llamarnos y hablar con alguien en español desde la primera llamada — no con una línea de intérpretes que hay que agendar.

La consulta es gratis y no tiene ningún compromiso. No cobramos honorarios a menos que ganemos su caso.

Why this matters more than it sounds

A workers’ compensation claim turns on details — exactly when you told your supervisor, exactly what you said, exactly what the doctor wrote down. Those details do not survive being relayed through a third party on a phone line.

Bilingual staffing has been part of how this firm operates for years, and it is one of the reasons a large share of our work comes from referrals inside Oklahoma’s Spanish-speaking communities.

Straight answers

Questions we get on almost every call.

If yours is not here, ask it directly. The consultation is free and there is no obligation attached to it.

What does it cost to hire Flynn Law Firm?

Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, which means our fee comes out of what we recover for you. If we do not recover anything, you owe us no attorney fee.

The first consultation is free and carries no obligation — you are not signing anything by calling.

No, we do not currently handle wrongful termination or retaliation cases. Those claims were once heard alongside workers’ compensation cases, but they now proceed in District Court under a different area of law. Our practice is dedicated to Workers’ Compensation. If you believe you were wrongfully terminated or retaliated against, please speak with an experienced employment law attorney who handles those cases directly. Read the full explanation.

No. A denial is a position taken by an insurance company. It is not a final ruling, and it is not the end of the claim.

Denied claims are one of the most common reasons people call this office. Many are resolved once the claim is properly documented and presented. More on denied claims.

In Oklahoma workers’ compensation cases the employer or its insurer generally directs medical care — but that does not leave you without options, including the right to seek an independent medical examination in a disputed case.

What applies to your situation depends on your specific facts. Ask us before you accept a disability rating you disagree with.

Yes. You can call and speak with someone in Spanish without arranging an interpreter in advance. Sí — puede llamar y hablar con alguien en español desde la primera llamada.

Less time than most people assume, and the clock starts before you feel ready to deal with it. Oklahoma sets separate deadlines for notifying your employer and for filing the claim itself, and different rules apply to injury lawsuits and to railroad claims under FELA.

Do not guess at this. See the deadline guide or call and ask — it takes two minutes to find out where you stand.
