About Jason Hicks

Jason Hicks has practiced law in Oklahoma since 2008 and focuses on catastrophic injury, commercial-truck, wrongful-death, and civil-rights litigation. His work centers on serious matters where records, witnesses, experts, and trial preparation shape the case. He handles Section 1983 claims involving excessive force, deliberate indifference and deaths in custody, commercial vehicle crashes where black-box, ELD and dispatch records decide reconstruction, and oil field and job-site injury claims with layered liability. He earned his B.B.A. and J.D. from the University of Oklahoma and is a graduate of the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College. His documented results include the $126 million federal jury verdict in Gaines v. City of Moore and the $2 million jury verdict in Simms v. Oklahoma County Criminal Justice Authority.
