This is almost always a non-issue. With I-35 running through our great state, accidents with out-of-staters do happen.
Example: Someone from Texas rear-ends you here in Oklahoma City. So, where can you bring a case against someone that doesn't reside in Oklahoma that caused the car accident?
In Oklahoma, "venue" in car accident cases is in the county where any defendant may be served or the accident (damages) occurred. This means, that in our example, suit could be brought where the accident/injury occurred or where we can get service on the defendant.
