Am I Eligible For A Slip And Fall Lawsuit in Oklahoma?
To bring a strong case to court, you need to follow these steps to help you demonstrate negligence in your slip and fall lawsuit.
- The third party who directly or indirectly caused the fall owed you a duty of care. Duty of care in this legal context is the duty that property owners or managers have to keep the visitors on their property safe from hazards. Depending on the context in which you were visiting the property owner or manager (conducting business with them, a social visit, trespassing), you will be afforded a different level of duty of care.
- The third party who directly or indirectly caused the fall breached this duty. At whatever level this property owner or manager was supposed to offer you a duty of care, they did not.
- This breach of duty of care caused injuries. Typically, you need to at least have physical injuries to proceed with legal action, but these injuries can be accompanied by psychological or emotional injuries as well.
- The injuries experienced caused damage. A victim must claim damages to file a successful legal suit. Damages can be financial (like hospital bills or other expenses) or based on intangible causes (emotional distress, anxiety, pain and suffering, and more).
