Understanding Oklahoma Premises Liability

When you enter a store, restaurant, apartment complex, or other property, the owner has a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. When they fail—and you get hurt—you have the right to seek compensation.

Duty of Care

Property owners must maintain reasonably safe conditions and warn visitors of known hazards they cannot immediately fix.

Proving Negligence

We must show the owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to address it.

Full Compensation

You may recover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more when a property owner's negligence causes injury.

What To Do After a Slip and Fall Accident

Seek Medical Attention

Even if you feel okay, some injuries don't show symptoms immediately. Get checked by a doctor and keep all medical records.

Report the Incident

Notify the property owner or manager and request a copy of the incident report. Do not admit fault or apologize.

Document Everything

Take photos of the dangerous condition, your injuries, and the surrounding area. Get names and contact information for witnesses.

Preserve Evidence

Keep the shoes and clothing you were wearing. Don't wash them—they may be evidence of the conditions that caused your fall.

Contact an Attorney

Before speaking to insurance adjusters or signing anything, consult with a premises liability lawyer who can protect your rights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Premises liability is the legal principle that property owners and occupiers have a duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors. When they fail to do so—and someone is injured as a result—they can be held legally responsible for damages including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

You must prove four elements: (1) the property owner owed you a duty of care, (2) a dangerous condition existed on the property, (3) the owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn you, and (4) the dangerous condition caused your injuries. Evidence like photos, witness statements, and incident reports are critical.

Oklahoma follows modified comparative negligence. You can still recover compensation if you were less than 51% at fault, but your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Property owners often try to blame victims—we fight back against these tactics.

Oklahoma's statute of limitations for most premises liability cases is two years from the date of injury. However, if your injury occurred on government property (like a state building or public park), you may have as little as one year. Contact us immediately to protect your rights.

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and in some cases, punitive damages if the property owner's conduct was especially reckless.

Be very careful. You can provide basic facts, but do not admit fault or speculate about what happened. Do not sign any documents that release the property owner from liability. Take photos of the scene and your injuries, and contact an attorney before giving a recorded statement.

Premises liability cases are complex. Property owners and their insurance companies will aggressively dispute your claim and try to blame you for the accident. An experienced attorney can investigate the scene, gather evidence, identify all responsible parties, and fight for maximum compensation.
