What is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is the liability landowners have for injuries that occur on their property.

In Oklahoma, landowners have a legal duty to keep their premises in a reasonably safe condition, and to take reasonable steps to fix or address potential hazards that could hurt visitors. When property owners fail to uphold this duty and visitors suffer harm as a result, they can be held financially responsible for the resulting damages.

Examples of how a landowner may breach their duty of care:

• Failure to clean up spills
• Failure to repair open holes or broken handrails
• Failure to employ security or hire qualified security
• Failure to implement policies for periodic site safety inspections
• Failure to respond to complaints of leaks, exposed wiring, or other property hazards
• Failure to adequately warn about property hazards

Types of Premises Liability Cases

Premises accidents can involve many different types of hazardous conditions. Some of the most common include:

• Slip and fall / trip and fall accidents
• Swimming pool accidents
• Negligent or insufficient security
• Fires and explosions
• Toxic exposure
• Accidents on construction sites

Can I File a Premises Liability Lawsuit?

You may have a potential premises liability claim if:

• You sustained an injury on someone else’s property;
• The property owner knew or should have known about the hazard that caused your injury, but failed to fix it or warn guests about it;
• You suffered actual damages because of the property owner’s substandard care.

Premises liability claims are fact-specific matters with many moving parts. As such, the best way to evaluate if you have a viable case is to have it reviewed by a qualified and experienced lawyer. At DiPasquale Moore, we offer FREE consultations to help you get started.

Recoverable Damages in Premises Accident Cases

Victims who prevail in premises liability cases are entitled to a recovery of their damages. This can include:

• Medical bills
• Future medical expenses
• Lost income and future wages
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional anguish
• Other economic or non-economic losses

At DiPasquale Moore, we work closely with clients to assess how injuries impacted their lives and evaluate their available sources of compensation, which can include a property owner’s insurance coverage and / or insurance coverage from third parties that may have caused or contributed to accidents. By taking this approach, we help victims pursue the full amount of compensation they deserve – something that is especially important when property hazards cause catastrophic injuries.

How Can a Lawyer Help?

Working with a lawyer can make all the difference when it comes to holding landowners liable for your losses. A lawyer can provide the insight you’ll need to meet the burden of proving that a landowner failed to uphold the duty of care they owed you, and help you navigate the claim process.

At DiPasquale Moore, we offer comprehensive legal counsel. This includes support to:

• Investigate accidents and potential causes
• Identify available sources of compensation
• Conduct discovery to gather evidence or depose defendants
• Handle settlement negotiations with defendants and insurance carriers
• Litigate your case at trial, if necessary
