Luke Abel Named 2027 Personal Injury Lawyer of the Year by Best Lawyers

Best Lawyers names T. Luke Abel of Abel Law Firm the 2027 Lawyer of the Year for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs in Oklahoma City.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK, UNITED STATES, August 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Best Lawyers has named T. Luke Abel of Abel Law Firm the 2027 Lawyer of the Year for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs in Oklahoma City. The designation is held by one attorney in each practice area in each metropolitan area, and it is determined by the assessments of other lawyers who work in the same market and the same field.

Best Lawyers compiles its lists through peer review. Attorneys in the same city and practice area evaluate one another on the quality of their work; placement cannot be purchased, and attorneys cannot nominate themselves. Inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America follows from that review, and the Lawyer of the Year title goes to the single attorney in each practice area and market who receives the strongest peer assessments. The attorneys casting those assessments include opposing counsel who have taken depositions and tried cases against the lawyer.

The 2027 title is Abel’s third Lawyer of the Year recognition. Best Lawyers named him Lawyer of the Year for Plaintiff’s Product Liability Litigation in 2023 and again in 2025, and he has appeared in The Best Lawyers in America every year since 2020.

Abel leads the personal injury practice his father, Ed Abel, founded in 1976. He joined the firm in 2006 after completing law school at the University of Oklahoma and has represented injured clients there since. His docket covers car and truck collisions, oil field injuries, defective products, nursing home neglect, and wrongful death claims.

“Peer review measures what opposing counsel and colleagues observe over years of cases, which is a different thing from what a firm says about itself,” said T. Luke Abel, Attorney at Abel Law Firm.

The firm handles motor vehicle collision claims, commercial truck collision claims, oil field injury matters, defective product claims, nursing home neglect cases, and wrongful death actions, and it tries cases in state and federal courts throughout the state.

Consultations are available at both offices and by telephone.
