Meet Attorney Anthony Gorospe
Anthony Gorospe is a dedicated Tulsa personal injury lawyer and the founder of Gorospe Law Group. With over 20 years of legal experience, he has built a reputation for fiercely advocating for individuals who have been injured due to negligence.
He began his legal career as an Assistant District Attorney in Tulsa County, where he honed his skills in the courtroom. He later transitioned to a large defense firm, representing insurance companies in personal injury claims. However, after witnessing firsthand how insurers work to minimize or deny claims, Anthony made a pivotal decision—to fight for the injured rather than defend corporate interests.
Now, as a Tulsa personal injury lawyer, Anthony leverages his deep knowledge of insurance defense strategies to level the playing field for his clients. He understands the emotional and financial toll that serious injuries can bring and is committed to securing the compensation his clients need to rebuild their lives.
At Gorospe Law Group, Anthony and his team provide comprehensive support beyond legal representation. They help coordinate medical care, arrange vehicle repairs or replacements, and even provide transportation for clients in need. The firm operates on a contingency fee basis—meaning clients pay nothing upfront, and all legal fees and case-related costs are covered until a successful resolution is achieved.
Whether handling car accidents, truck accidents, wrongful death claims, or other personal injury matters, Anthony Gorospe is a relentless advocate, ensuring that insurance companies are held accountable and that his clients receive the justice they deserve.

Contributory Negligence in Tulsa Motorcycle Accident Claims
Tulsa motorcycle accident claims are influenced by the concept of contributory negligence. This legal principle determines how fault and damages are assigned in personal injury cases. The comparative negligence rule is found under Oklahoma Statutes Title 23, §23-13:
“In all actions hereafter brought, whether arising before or after the effective date of this act, for negligence resulting in personal injuries or wrongful death, or injury to property, contributory negligence shall not bar a recovery, unless any negligence of the person so injured, damaged or killed, is of greater degree than any negligence of the person, firm or corporation causing such damage, or unless any negligence of the person so injured, damaged or killed, is of greater degree than the combined negligence of any persons, firms or corporations causing such damage.”
What this means is that the suing party (i.e., the plaintiff) can recover damages as long as they are less than 51% at fault for the accident. If the plaintiff’s fault is 51% or more, they are barred from recovering any damages. The percentage of fault assigned to each party directly affects the amount of compensation the plaintiff can receive. For example:
- If a motorcyclist is found to be 30% at fault for an accident for speeding slightly over the speed limit and the total damages amount to $100,000, the compensation would be reduced by 30%, resulting in a recovery of $70,000.
- If the motorcyclist is 50% at fault for changing lanes without signaling at the same time as the other driver doing the same action, they would receive 50% of the damages.
- If the motorcyclist is found to be 51% or more at fault for weaving dangerously through traffic, they would not be entitled to any compensation
Helmet Laws in Tulsa Motorcycle Accident Claims
Helmet laws play a significant role in Tulsa motorcycle accident claims. Tulsa’s motorcycle helmet laws are governed under Oklahoma Statutes Title 47, §12-609:
“B. No person under eighteen (18) years of age shall operate or ride upon any motorcycle unless such person is properly wearing a crash helmet of a type which complies with standards established by 49 C.F.R., Section 571.218.”
Under this law, motorcycle riders and passengers under the age of 18 are required to wear a helmet. Given Oklahoma’s contributory negligence laws, the defense may argue that the victim contributed to the accident if they were not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. In addition, medical experts and evidence may focus on whether the lack of a helmet directly contributed to the severity of injuries.

“Anthony was exceptional in handling my case. I couldn’t be happier with my experience here. My case was a smaller one because I wasn’t extremely injured in my car wreck, but I still missed a lot of work, had a long healing process with physical therapy and the chiropractor as well as all the medical bills that come with it. I feel He put the exact same amount of time and effort into my case as he would any other major case. His team was excellent when it came to advisement, and availability. He refused to settle for the peanuts my insurance company was offering me. Anthony went above and beyond.”
