Defendant's Attorney: Gregg J. Lytle and Michael S. Litrenta

Description:

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma personal injury premises liability lawyers represented the Plaintiff.

Premises liability law in Oklahoma holds property owners accountable for injuries that occur on their property. To win a premises liability case, the injured party must prove the following:

Duty of care

The property owner had a duty to maintain a safe environment. The duty of care depends on the relationship between the injured party and the property owner. For example, a property owner owes the highest duty of care to customers, who are considered invitees.

Breach of duty

The property owner failed to maintain the property safely or warn of known hazards.
Causation

The property owner's negligence directly caused the injury.

Damages

The injured party suffered actual damages, such as medical expenses, pain and suffering, or loss of income.

Some examples of premises liability include:

A grocery store aisle that is slippery after cleaning should be marked to prevent falls.

Amusement park rides should inform guests of any potential dangers.

Property owners should take reasonable steps to protect children who trespass on their property, such as installing a fence around a pool.

Outcome: : This action is administratively terminated without prejudice to the rights of the parties to reopen for entry of any stipulation or order within 30 days after the termination of the Bankruptcy proceeding. If no party moves to reopen within that time period, this action will be deemed dismissed with prejudice. Signed by Judge Charles Goodwin on 10/03/2024. (jb) (Entered: 10/03/2024)
