Common Types of Premises Liability Cases In Tulsa
Property owners in Tulsa and elsewhere in Oklahoma must regularly inspect and pay prompt attention to significant safety hazards that could seriously injure those legally on the property. Common premises liability claims stem from the following:
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Trip-and-fall accidents
- Pool injuries
- Dog bites
- Elevator and escalator accidents
- Apartment fires
- Ceiling collapses

Commercial property owners who invite customers or patrons onto their property for business purposes have a special duty of care to provide adequate maintenance and security, perform regular inspections, and promptly address safety hazards.
Damages In Premises Liability Cases In Tulsa
Few people save money aside for the possibility of a sudden, serious injury, like head injuries, fractures, back and neck injuries, or burns. Sadly, treating these injuries is expensive. Medical bills may come in at the same time that an injury victim is unable to return to work. The physical and financial impacts of an injury are the damages in a premises liability case in Tulsa. Common damages recovered in premises liability claims include the following:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Past and future income loss
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Compensation for pain and suffering
- Compensation for catastrophic damages like loss of limb, the loss of one of the senses, organ loss, scarring, disfigurement, or diminished quality of life
If a loved one died from a preventable injury on someone else’s property, a wrongful death claim can recover compensation for a close family member.
Proving Liability In a Premises Liability Claim
Before an injury victim can recover fair compensation for their damages, they must provide compelling evidence of liability. Often, this requires an experienced investigation and clear documentation to support the claim. A Tulsa premises liability lawyer documents evidence of liability by showing the following:
- The property owner knew the hazard existed or should reasonably have known
- The property owner owed a duty of care to the injury victim
- They violated this duty of care by failing to take reasonable measures to correct the problem
- Their violation of the duty of reasonable care directly caused the injury
- The injury victim suffered significant damages because of the injury
Most premises liability claims are filed against a property owner’s insurance, and only become a lawsuit in court if the insurance company wrongfully denies or undervalues the claim.
