A premises liability claim happens with owners don’t take proper care of their property and it causes someone to get hurt. When that happens, victims can get paid for the medical expenses and lost time at work that it costs them.

Commonly filed types of premises liability claims in Tulsa include:

• Slip or trip and fall accidents. This is the most common type of premises liability action filed in the Tulsa area. It could happen if a grocery store floor is wet and wasn’t attended to quickly enough and someone falls. Another example might be products left in aisles that cause customers to trip.
• Dog bites. The state enforces strict liability for dog bites within the city limits, so a dog’s owner is generally fully responsible for any and all injuries their pet causes to others. If you were hurt by a property owner’s dog while lawfully visiting the property, the property owner may owe money for your injury.

• Dram shop/bar liability. A dram shop, bar, or any establishment that sells and/or serves alcohol must be extra responsible. If they continue serving clearly intoxicated patrons or underage customers who then proceed to cause damage to others while drunk, they may owe accident victims money under premises liability laws.
• Improper/negligent maintenance. Property owners must perform regular maintenance of their properties. This is especially important for private commercial property owners to prevent injuries to customers. Broken steps, improper lighting, or trip hazards are all examples of poor maintenance that could cause someone to injure themselves.

• Lost future income. Some people can’t go back to their job at all due to the injury. The defendant may be responsible for paying for your lost future wages if you aren’t able to work in your previous career.

While there is no price on being able to walk or not have trauma from an incident, courts will try to make up for this suffering with more money. A good Tulsa premises liability attorney can help figure out what such a number might be.
