Identify the owners and firms
The About page names Jason Hicks and D. Colby Addison, links each source-backed Rider First profile, and keeps the separate-firm disclosure visible.

Why us
Verify who owns Rider First, who may handle a case, and what reaching out means.
A serious motorcycle crash already creates enough uncertainty. This page explains who is responsible, what happens when you ask for a review, how contingent-fee and engagement terms work, and what the website does not do.
For accepted motorcycle-injury matters, attorney fees are contingent on recovery and governed by a written engagement agreement.
Jason Hicks and D. Colby Addison jointly own Rider First and are responsible counsel for its content and advertising. Both are source owners for Rider First content. Jason practices through Hicks Law Firm and Colby practices through Addison Law Firm; the firms are separate. Any accepted representation is governed by a written agreement identifying case-specific roles, scope, fees, costs, and day-to-day responsibility.
Verify it yourself
Six checks you can make without taking our word for it.
Trust should not depend on a badge, a superlative, or a result amount standing alone. Examine identity, source links, fee terms, and the rules that govern what this website can and cannot do.
Compare the work, not a star count
The lawyer-choice guide gives you concrete questions about evidence, injury proof, insurance, communication, fees, and who would actually handle the matter.
Use the lawyer-choice guideUnderstand what the form does
The case-review page explains what to send, what not to send, and why a submission does not guarantee review, response, acceptance, or representation.
Read the case-review limitsCheck the website boundaries
The terms explain attorney advertising, contingent-fee and expense disclosures, relationship limits, deadlines, and the written agreement required before representation.

Use the Oklahoma Bar Association's Member Verification Search to look up each lawyer by name or bar number. A firm biography, directory badge, or Rider First page is not the official status record.

The privacy page explains the first-contact form fields, Netlify submission handling, optional measurement boundaries, and why unnecessary records and identifiers should stay out of the initial request.
Read the privacy noticeBefore you send the form
You should know what reaching out does and does not do.
A request can begin with the crash facts you know. It does not guarantee review, response, or acceptance, and it does not extend a deadline. Those limits stay beside the path to reach out.
Make a focused request
You can send the crash basics through the short form. Submission does not guarantee review, response, case acceptance, or representation; any engagement terms require a written agreement identifying responsible counsel.
Flag the urgent issues
A useful request identifies injuries, insurance pressure, police-report problems, video, witnesses, helmet, gear, motorcycle storage, and proof that may disappear.
No lawyer-client relationship from the website alone
Reading the site or submitting a form does not hire the lawyers. A relationship begins only when a written agreement is signed.
The firms stay separate
Oklahoma Motorcycle Lawyers brings Addison Law Firm and Hicks Law Firm together for motorcycle-injury matters. The firms remain separate law firms.
Trust details
The fine print should still be readable.
Once you have checked the identity and sources, these boundaries matter to the next decision: what to send, how fees and privacy work, and what exists before a written agreement.
Proof before promotion
Rider First does not currently publish client testimonials or case results. Look instead for named counsel, source-linked lawyer profiles, a clear service scope, and the plan for investigating your own crash.
Private facts deserve care
Use the case-review form for the basic facts needed to understand the crash. Avoid sending full medical charts, full social-security numbers, or unnecessary private identifiers until the lawyers ask for them through the right channel.
Conflicts and roles are handled case by case
If a conflict exists or a role needs to be limited, the lawyers handle that under their professional duties and the written engagement agreement. The correct setup depends on the people, venue, insurance, and facts involved.
When timing matters
Do not wait just because the paperwork is incomplete.
Video can be overwritten. The bike can move. Witnesses can become harder to find. Insurance can press for recorded statements, authorizations, or releases before the injury picture is clear.
Ownership, fees, and case-review questions
Questions people ask before they reach out.
What does a case-review form submission promise?
Use the form to request a case review with the contact and crash basics you know. Submission does not guarantee review, response, or case acceptance. It does not form an attorney-client relationship or extend any deadline. The written agreement explains the fee, litigation costs and expenses, and any client responsibility. No representation or fee obligation begins through this website.
Do I hire the lawyers by submitting the form?
No. Submitting the form asks for a case review, but it does not guarantee review, response, or acceptance and does not extend any deadline. An attorney-client relationship begins only when a written agreement is signed.
How are attorney fees handled?
For accepted motorcycle-injury matters, attorney fees are contingent on recovery and governed by a written engagement agreement. The written agreement explains the fee, litigation costs and expenses, and any client responsibility. No representation or fee obligation begins through this website.
Still sorting it out?
Review the case-request terms, then decide whether to submit.
You do not need the perfect legal summary. Date, location, injuries, police agency, insurance contact, witnesses, photos, video, helmet, gear, and motorcycle location are a practical place to begin the request.
