Slip and Fall? The Property Owner May Be Liable.
When negligent property owners fail to fix dangerous conditions—wet floors, icy sidewalks, uneven surfaces—they put visitors at risk. We hold them accountable and fight for full compensation.
Oklahoma Slip and Fall Law
Under Oklahoma premises liability law, property owners must maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors. When they fail to fix or warn about dangerous conditions, and you're injured as a result, they can be held liable.
"A possessor of land is subject to liability for physical harm caused to his invitees by a condition on the land if... he knows or by the exercise of reasonable care would discover the condition, and should realize that it involves an unreasonable risk of harm."
— Restatement (Second) of Torts § 343, adopted in Oklahoma
Common Slip and Fall Hazards
We handle all types of slip, trip, and fall cases caused by dangerous property conditions.
Wet & Slippery Floors
Spilled liquids, freshly mopped floors without warning signs, leaking refrigerators in grocery stores.
Ice & Snow
Icy parking lots, unsalted sidewalks, and frozen entryways that property owners fail to address.
Uneven Surfaces
Broken tiles, raised thresholds, potholes in parking lots, and torn or bunched carpeting.
Poor Lighting
Dark stairwells, poorly lit parking areas, and obscured hazards due to inadequate lighting.
How We Prove Your Case
Surveillance Footage
We issue immediate preservation letters to prevent deletion of security camera footage showing the hazard and your fall.
Store Records
Maintenance logs, inspection records, and employee schedules reveal how long the hazard existed before your fall.
Prior Incidents
If others have fallen in the same spot, it proves the property owner knew about the recurring hazard.
Building Codes
We check for violations of Oklahoma building codes and safety regulations that contributed to the hazard.
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
