How Do I Know If I Have a Strong Slip and Fall Case?

In Oklahoma, slip and fall accidents typically fall under premises liability law. This area of law dictates that property owners and possessors have a legal responsibility, known as a duty of care, to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition for visitors and to either correct or warn them of known or reasonably foreseeable dangerous conditions.

Put another way, you may have a slip and fall case if your injuries were the result of a dangerous condition the property knew or reasonably should have known about but failed to sufficiently address. Your case may become more complicated if you were trespassing at the time that you slipped and fell or if the property owner has evidence that they had no knowledge of the hazard before the accident occurred. 

Examples of dangerous conditions that can cause slips and falls include:

• Wet or slippery surfaces
• Uneven flooring
• Cracked or broken pavement
• Loose tiles
• Broken handrails
• Inadequate lighting

How Long Do I Have to File a Slip and Fall Lawsuit in Oklahoma?

Generally, you have two years from the date you were injured to file a slip and fall claim. If you do not take legal action before this two-year period expires, you will almost certainly be barred from bringing your case and recovering any compensation.

Two years may seem like a lot of time to think about whether you want to seek damages, but the reality is that you need to get legal guidance as soon as possible after a slip and fall. Evidence that may be crucial to proving the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard, such as surveillance footage of the area and maintenance logs, can quickly disappear. When you promptly reach out to our team at JJ Law, you give us more of an opportunity to preserve this evidence and thoroughly investigate your case. 

What Types of Compensation Can I Recover in a Slip and Fall Case?

The two primary categories of compensation recoverable in a slip and fall claim are economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages are quantifiable losses that have a concrete monetary value and can be proven with objective documentation.

Non-economic damages compensate you for subjective, intangible losses that do not have a specific bill or price tag. To recover these damages, we can provide compelling evidence that illustrates the severity and duration of the injury's impact on your daily life.

Our slip and fall accident attorneys are prepared to seek maximum compensation for all of your economic and non-economic damages, including:

• Medical bills
• Lost income
• Reduced earning potential
• Property damage (like a shattered phone or broken watch)
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
