Oklahoma City Lawyers

Injury Litigation

The Oklahoma City lawyers from Nix Patterson give a voice to personal injury victims throughout Oklahoma. Some of the personal injury cases we handle include:

Truck Wrecks

Oklahoma truck drivers must maintain a valid commercial driver’s license and comply with strict federal trucking laws and regulations. Unfortunately, due to the enormous size of large trucks, when they crash into passenger vehicles, the impact of such car accidents can be devastating. The car is usually wrecked, and its occupants are seriously injured or killed.

Nix Patterson is known for holding truckers and trucking companies accountable when they put drivers at risk on Oklahoma roads. If you’ve been in a truck accident, our highly skilled tractor-trailer accident lawyers will work to protect your rights.

Oil Field Injuries

An oil field can be a dangerous place to work, and injuries sustained in an oil drilling accident can change your life. Often, victims will need medical care for the rest of their lives. In 2021, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that underground machine operators were among the top ten civilian occupations with high fatal work injury rates.

Our Oklahoma oil field accident lawyers are well-versed in handling oil field accident cases and taking on oil and gas companies. If you are looking for answers, dedication, and support following an accident or explosion at an oil field, Nix Patterson is here to help and point you in the right direction.

Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic injuries can be particularly traumatic and can have a tremendous impact on a victim’s life, often leaving a victim suffering their entire life with permanent disabilities. Examples of catastrophic injuries that Nix Patterson handles include:

• Severe burns
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Loss of hearing or vision
• Spinal cord injuries
• Amputation

While sustaining a catastrophic injury might not be fatal, your recovery journey might be long and difficult. We understand that negotiating a fair settlement or fighting for a just verdict in court will provide catastrophic injury victims with a way to begin putting the pieces of their lives back together. This is what our Oklahoma catastrophic injury lawyers work to accomplish every day.

Sexual Abuse

Discussing sexual assault is never easy. Our sexual assault attorneys in Oklahoma acknowledge the bravery it takes to come forward regarding sexual assault. We are committed to handling your case differently than other firms by providing an exceptional experience and prioritizing your case’s sensitive nature and confidentiality.

The compassionate attorneys at Nix Patterson can provide a free consultation and review based on the specific facts of your case to determine whether the Oklahoma Crime Victims Compensation Act provides a path for you to pursue justice. Let our skilled attorneys help you prosecute those who committed these horrific acts and advocate for the justice you deserve.

Dangerous Drugs and Medical Devices

When medical devices and pharmaceutical drugs fail or are defective, they can cause catastrophic or life-threatening injuries. Sadly, very few lawyers in Oklahoma have what it takes to successfully take on Big Pharma for making, distributing, and selling dangerous drugs and medical devices.

Nix Patterson proudly accepts complex, dangerous drugs and defective medical device cases across Oklahoma and the U.S. As national leaders in fighting for victims of defective medical devices and dangerous drugs, we are experienced at holding Big Pharma accountable for the life-changing injuries and suffering they cause.

Commercial Litigation

Nix Patterson has 40-plus years under its belt providing top-notch legal counsel and representation to individuals, businesses, and corporations in different commercial law cases, including:

Class Actions

Class actions are a vital part of the Oklahoma and American justice systems, providing a powerful tool for plaintiffs with similar losses to join together and collectively enforce their rights. Nix Patterson is widely known as a leader in fighting for the rights of victims of corporate and other large-scale wrongdoing, including one against Ward Petroleum Corporation for unlawfully deducting certain post-production costs from the class members’ royalty payments. This class action suit resulted in a $10 million settlement.

Whistleblower Litigation

Whistleblowers put their careers, names, and reputations on the line to expose corporate greed and illegal activities. It’s absolutely crucial for whistleblowers to work with an experienced whistleblower attorney before filing a “Qui Tam” lawsuit.

While laws such as the False Claims Act and the Whistleblower Act exist to protect whistleblowers, they can overwhelm someone who is considering blowing the whistle. Nix Patterson’s whistleblower lawyers are here to answer questions and stand up for your rights.

Governmental Representation

In our dedication to bringing meaningful change through litigation, our team at Nix Patterson partners with local and state governments, including cities and counties, to address different harms facing their residents.

We have an enviable record of success overseeing complex litigation against some of the world’s largest and most powerful corporations, including Big Pharma companies such as Johnson & Johnson.

Securities and Portfolio Monitoring

Usually, by the time a typical investor detects suspicious activity, the damage is done. At this point, the time and cost required to recover losses are often significantly high, and the chances of restitution are very low.

Clients rely on Nix Patterson to aggressively evaluate and mitigate their securities claims and keep them in the loop. To that end, at no cost to our clients, our securities and portfolio monitoring team conducts ongoing portfolio monitoring to identify activities that could indicate fraud.

If you believe a company in which you are invested is suffering losses due to breaches of fiduciary duty or have questions regarding shareholder directive action, Nix Patterson can help.

Antitrust Litigation

Nix Patterson delivers practical advice and effective representation wherever antitrust issues arise. Our antitrust lawyers have market-leading experience dealing with all aspects of state and federal antitrust laws and representing clients in some of the most challenging antitrust cases.

We have the knowledge, agency relationships, and technical skills to vigorously vindicate the rights of plaintiffs hurt by antitrust violations. We will develop strategies and provide powerful oral and written advocacy tailored to maximize the persuasiveness and effectiveness of your position in an antitrust case.

Intellectual Property Infringement

At Nix Patterson, our intellectual property attorneys are renowned for their extensive experience and exceptional proficiency in litigating all intellectual property issues in both state and federal courts. We advise clients on all matters pertaining to intellectual property, including:

• Intellectual property disputes and lawsuits
• Copyright infringement
• Trademark clearance, filing, and enforcement
• IP violation investigations
• IP shielding from competitor misuse

Regardless of which side of an IP dispute you’re on, you can depend on Nix Patterson to assist in optimizing your intellectual property investments and protecting your market assets.
