What Is Premises Liability?
Premises liability is the area of law that holds property owners responsible when dangerous conditions on their property cause injuries. It’s based on the principle that property owners owe specific duties to people who come onto their property.
However, you must prove that the property owner knew, or should have known, of the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn others. Property owners have a duty to inspect their property, identify problems, and either fix them or give adequate warning.
Oklahoma courts recognize that different types of visitors are owed different levels of care. Your legal status at the time you were on the property affects the duty of care the owner owed you.
One of the big defenses property owners use is the “open and obvious” doctrine. They argue that if a danger was obvious, they don’t owe a duty to warn about it or protect against it because you should have seen it yourself.
But Oklahoma recognizes exceptions. If you were distracted for a legitimate reason, or if the danger was so severe that even obvious hazards required protection, the open-and-obvious defense may not apply.
Premises liability claims are rarely straightforward. They are typically hotly contested and difficult to prove. You need the assistance of an experienced Edmond premises liability lawyer to build your strongest claim and help you recover full compensation.
Common Types of Premises Liability Claims
Premises liability claims can arise from various types of injuries. Some of the most common types of premises liability claims include:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Inadequate security injuries
- Negligent maintenance injuries
- Swimming pool accidents
- Toxic exposure
- Dog and other animal bites or attacks
- Fire and building code violations
If a property owner’s negligence caused or contributed to your injury, you may have a valid premises liability claim. You should promptly consult an experienced Edmond premises liability lawyer to determine your options.
