Oklahoma comparative negligence rule
Modified comparative negligence
You can recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault, but only up to a threshold — cross it and you recover nothing. The exact bar percentage (commonly 50% or 51%) varies; confirm the precise cutoff for your claim with a licensed attorney.
This rule only matters if there is a real dispute about shared fault — for example, both drivers claim the other ran the light. If liability is clear and undisputed, this rule typically has no effect on your recovery. When fault is shared, it can significantly change what you actually collect, which is why insurers raise comparative fault early in negotiations even on borderline claims.
This is a general reference, not a determination for your specific facts — confirm how this rule applies to your claim with a licensed attorney in Oklahoma.
