According to the National Floor Safety Institute, slip and falls account for over 1 million emergency room visits in the U.S. each year.

Some of the most common examples of slip and fall accidents in Tulsa are ones resulting from:

For instance, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lists falls as the primary cause of traumatic brain injury in the United States.

Injuries that occur most often in slip and fall accidents include:

Slip and fall accidents typically fall under the umbrella of premises liability claims. Property owners are responsible for ensuring their properties are reasonably safe for guests, visitors, and patrons. Property owners may be held liable when they fail to address safety concerns and a person is injured. However, other parties can also be responsible for dangerous conditions and may bear whole or partial liability for a slip and fall accident. Liable parties can include:

Every Tulsa slip and fall claim is unique. The value of a slip and fall claim depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries and the cause of the accident. Before you accept a settlement offer from an insurer or anyone else, talk to a knowledgeable attorney about your situation.

To have a successful premises liability claim involving a slip and fall in Tulsa, you must prove negligence on the part of the owner of the premises. This includes showing that:

All of these factors could establish that a property owner failed to adequately protect you from harm. In defense, a property owner may try to pin partial or full blame on you, claiming that your own negligence contributed to your injuries. As you move ahead with a slip and fall accident claim, you should be prepared for these allegations, however unsubstantiated they may be, and be ready to show that you did not contribute to the accident through negligence of your own. An expert Tulsa slip and fall lawyer can help you prove negligence and win your claim.
The Oklahoma statute of limitations for a personal injury lawsuit, such as a slip and fall, is two years. Two years may seem like a long time, but you need to act quickly. Evidence of your injury can “fade” as time passes. Additionally, proper research needs to be done for your cases. So, do not delay in contacting Edwards & Patterson Law about your claim. Should your lawsuit not be filed before that two years expire, you will lose your opportunity to have your claim heard in court.
