Slip and Fall Injuries and Premises Liability Claims
The term “slip and fall” includes a range of injuries that are the result of someone losing their footing and falling, often due to slippery, uneven, or loose surfaces. These injuries can be minor or severe and are often caused by the negligence of property owners and managers.
The term “premises liability” refers to the legal responsibility of property owners and managers, and to some extent, property occupiers, to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition for renters and visitors. When these people and entities fail to do this, victims of these injuries can seek compensation for expenses that are the result of their injury. They can also seek compensation for their pain and suffering by bringing a personal injury premises liability lawsuit.
Compensation For Slip and Fall Injuries
When an innocent person is injured because of a property owner’s negligence, even though the property owner’s insurance should pay for the victim’s injuries, they often try to place the blame, or part of it, on the victim. Oklahoma uses a comparative negligence system. This means that if the defendant’s insurance can prove that the injured person contributed to their injury through negligent or reckless behavior, the victim may still be entitled to compensation, but the amount of damages they can recover may be reduced.
Even when it is established by both sides that it was the property owner’s negligence that caused the injury, insurance companies are notorious for paying out as little as they can get away with, even though the victim truly needs the money.
Our skilled premises liability lawyer can help to make sure that these things don’t happen to you.
