Accidents in Edmond are Changing
Edmond is no longer a quiet bedroom community. With a population pushing 100,000 and rapid commercial expansion along Covell and 2nd Street, traffic density has skyrocketed. At Hicks Law Firm, we see a specific pattern of severe collisions in Edmond that differ from downtown Oklahoma City.
We do not run a settlement mill. We limit our caseload to focus on catastrophic injuries and wrongful death claims. If you were hurt by a distracted driver on the Broadway Extension or a delivery truck on Danforth, we have the resources to litigate your case in Oklahoma County District Court.
Edmond's High-Risk Corridors
Our investigation team regularly processes evidence from crashes in these specific "Danger Zones":
The Broadway Extension (US-77)
A notorious "transition zone" where highway traffic (65+ mph) suddenly hits city congestion near 33rd Street. Rear-end collisions here often cause severe spinal whiplash and TBI.
2nd Street & I-35
The primary commercial entry point. High volumes of inexperienced teen drivers (from Memorial and North High Schools) mixed with heavy commercial delivery traffic.
Covell & Kelly
Rapid residential growth has outpaced road infrastructure, leading to frequent intersection T-bone crashes involving failure to yield.
Kelly Avenue Construction
Ongoing widening projects create shifting lanes and confusing barriers, leading to construction zone accidents where fines (and liability) are doubled.
Medical Resources in Edmond
If you are injured in Edmond, your immediate care is critical for both your health and your case. We regularly work with providers at:
- OU Health Edmond: (2nd & Bryant) - The primary destination for trauma stabilization in the city core.
- Integris Health Edmond: (I-35 & Covell) - Often treats high-speed collision victims from the interstate.
- Summit Medical Center: Specialized orthepedic and surgical care often needed after potential spinal injuries.
Litigating in Oklahoma County
Even though your accident happened in Edmond, your lawsuit will likely be filed in the Oklahoma County District Court in downtown OKC. This is a favorable venue, but it is crowded. You need an attorney who knows how to move cases forward.
Edmond Municipal Court (on 1st Street) only handles minor traffic tickets and misdemeanors. While we may use the ticket payment as evidence of fault, your injury claim for compensation is a Civil District Court matter.
