Premises Liability Injuries

Experienced Legal Help for Premises Liability Injuries in Oklahoma

If you or someone you care about was hurt while on someone else’s property, you need a trusted legal team on your side. Premises liability cases involve injuries that happen because a property owner failed to keep their home, business, or land safe. At Brian Williams Law, we have extensive experience handling these types of personal injury claims and can help you understand your rights and options.

What Is a Premises Liability Claim?

Premises liability cases arise when someone is injured on another person’s property due to unsafe conditions or negligent maintenance. Oklahoma law generally protects people who visit a property with permission, such as guests, neighbors, delivery workers, or service providers.

If a property owner did not take reasonable steps to maintain a safe environment and that negligence caused your injury, you may have a claim to recover damages like medical bills and lost wages.

Common Types of Premises Liability Cases in Oklahoma

Here are some of the most frequent scenarios we see:

Slip and fall accidents: These often happen when floors are wet or cluttered, or when hazards like broken steps or poor lighting go unaddressed. For example, slipping on a wet grocery store floor or tripping over misplaced items can lead to serious injuries.
Dog bites: Oklahoma holds dog owners responsible if their pet bites or attacks someone lawfully on their property. If you were hurt by a dog while visiting or working, you might be entitled to compensation.
Alcohol-related accidents: Bars and other places that serve alcohol have a responsibility to prevent harm caused by obviously intoxicated or underage patrons. If a business ignored this duty and you were injured as a result, you could have a claim.
Negligent maintenance: Property owners must regularly check and fix hazards like broken steps, uneven pavement, or icy walkways. Failure to do so can lead to injuries and legal responsibility.
Failure to clear snow or ice: In Oklahoma’s colder months, property owners must remove dangerous ice and snow to protect visitors. If they don’t and someone is hurt, they may be liable.
Wrongful death: If your loved one died because of unsafe property conditions, we can provide compassionate guidance and fight to hold the responsible party accountable.

How Premises Liability Claims Work

When you contact us after an injury, we start by investigating whether the property owner neglected their duty to keep the premises safe. Once liability is established, the focus shifts to proving how serious your injuries are and what financial losses you’ve suffered.

Premises liability is a type of personal injury claim. It can help you recover:

Medical bills including immediate treatment and ongoing care
Lost wages from time missed at work during your recovery
Future lost earnings if your injury prevents you from returning to your previous job
Property damage such as a phone, jewelry, or other belongings damaged during the incident
Pain and suffering which compensates for the emotional and physical toll of your injury

Because pain and suffering can be hard to quantify, having an experienced attorney is key to ensuring you get a fair amount.

Why Timing Matters

Workplace injury claims are time sensitive. You have limited windows to report the injury, file paperwork, and take legal action. Waiting too long could affect your benefits or your right to sue.

The sooner you reach out, the more options we’ll have and the stronger your case will be. Our team can take the pressure off your shoulders and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
