Slip and Fall? The Property Owner May Be Liable.

There are two ways: 'actual knowledge' (they knew about the specific hazard) or 'constructive knowledge' (the hazard existed long enough that they should have discovered it through reasonable inspection). We subpoena maintenance logs, employee schedules, and surveillance footage to prove how long the hazard existed before your fall.

No—in fact, it may help. If they placed the sign after your fall, it shows they recognized the hazard. We document timing through surveillance footage and witness statements. Under Oklahoma evidence rules, subsequent remedial measures can sometimes be used to prove the hazard existed.

Property owners often try to blame victims for their shoes. While footwear may be a factor, a dangerous condition is still a dangerous condition. Oklahoma's comparative negligence allows recovery even if you share some fault—as long as you're less than 51% responsible. We fight back against blame-shifting tactics.

Oklahoma's statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of injury. However, if your fall occurred on government property (city sidewalk, state building), you may have much less time—sometimes as little as one year. Contact us immediately to protect your rights.

Photograph the hazard immediately if possible. Keep the shoes and clothes you were wearing—don't wash them. Get witness names and contact information. Request a copy of the incident report. Note the exact time, date, and location. This evidence can disappear quickly, so act fast.

You may recover medical expenses (emergency care, surgery, physical therapy), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. For serious injuries like hip fractures or traumatic brain injuries, lifetime costs can be substantial. We calculate the full value of your claim.
