Comprehensive Personal Injury & Wrongful Death Representation
Protecting
the Rights of Injured Oklahomans and Their Families for Over Thirty Years
|

Being
involved in a serious accident can severely impact your life. Physical injuries affect your ability to work, take care of
your family and pay your bills. The death of a loved one is an unfathomable loss. To make matters worse, dealing with insurance
companies and the legal system on your own can be overwhelming.
At Blue Law®, we've built our practice
around one sincerely held belief: Nobody should get a pass for causing harm to another.
No person or company is allowed to ignore
the rules in place to keep us safe and protect us all from injury. When
a person or company violates a safety rule and, as a result, injures someone, the person or company must be
held accountable for the harm they have caused. You and your family deserve to have the knowledge and information you need for your injury case. Accident
lawyer, Michael M. Blue, founder of Blue Law®, answers your questions and protects your rights. Most
of our clients come to us through the kind referrals of former clients and attorneys from across
the nation. We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to represent you, your family
members,
friends and
acquaintances. Please have them contact us if they need legal services or simply have questions
about a legal matter. Even if the particular legal matter is not the type of case we commonly handle, please contact us
as we have built trusted relationships with a vast array of excellent attorneys all over Oklahoma
and the United States and will work to locate the right attorney to meet your legal needs.
