Premises Liability

Premises Liability Attorneys in Tulsa

Holding Property Owners Accountable in Oklahoma

It is a property owner’s duty to ensure his or her premises are safe for anyone who might venture onto their land or into their building. Unfortunately, many owners do not take this responsibility seriously. This results in negligently kept or maintained property that could lead to serious injuries.

If you or a loved one were injured on another’s property, you might have a premises liability claim. At Brewster & De Angelis, our experienced personal injury lawyers aggressively defend the rights of premises liability victims. Please speak to us today to discuss your situation and learn more about your rights as an injury victim.

Our firm can be reached locally at (918) 265-1214. You may also contact our law office online and a member of our team will reach out shortly to discuss your injuries.

Common Premises Liability Claims

Slip-and-fall cases quickly come to most people’s minds when thinking about premises liability law. Premises liability cases, however, often include a wide range of accidents that occur on someone else’s property. These include:

  • Exposure to toxic chemicals
  • Injuries in swimming pools
  • Trampoline injuries
  • Structural collapse, including stairs, porches, or decks
  • Insufficient lighting
  • Animal attacks
  • Negligent security
  • Injuries caused by elevators or escalators

It is a landlord’s, store owner’s, and other property owner’s job to keep their premises safe, and it is our job to hold them accountable when they fail to do so. Our attorneys are selective in the personal injury cases we accept. We want to dedicate as much time, energy, and resources as necessary to ensure our clients can obtain the best possible outcome and maximize their compensation.

Proving Negligence in Tulsa Premises Liability Cases

Premises liability law is complex and requires the assistance of experienced attorneys. Our lawyers understand these complexities and carefully investigate all aspects of our clients’ cases to show that one of the following was true:

  • The property owner caused the dangerous condition
  • The property owner knew of the dangerous condition but failed to fix it
  • The property owner should have known about the dangerous condition

If we are able to show that any of these are true — and that the negligence of the property owner led to your injury — then you are very likely to obtain compensation to cover medical bills, replace lost wages, along with other costs associated with your injuries.

Protecting Your Rights as a Victim

At Brewster & De Angelis, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll that premises liability accidents can have on victims. Our dedicated team of premises liability attorneys in Tulsa is committed to protecting your rights and seeking the compensation you deserve.

When you choose us to represent you, we will:

  • Thoroughly investigate the accident: Our experienced attorneys will gather evidence, interview witnesses, and examine the conditions of the property to build a strong case on your behalf.
  • Establish negligence: We will work diligently to prove that the property owner or manager failed to maintain a safe environment, leading to your accident and subsequent injuries.
  • Evaluate damages: Our attorneys will thoroughly assess the complete impact of your injuries resulting from the accident, ensuring all relevant factors are considered.
  • Negotiate with insurance companies: We will handle all communication and negotiations with insurance companies to ensure that you receive a fair settlement that covers your damages.
  • Advocate for you in court: If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take your case to court and present a compelling argument on your behalf. 

Damages That Can Be Recovered in a Premises Liability Claim

Victims of premises liability accidents may have the right to seek various forms of compensation based on the details of their case. These compensation types can include:

  • Medical Expenses: Coverage for emergency room visits, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and future medical care related to the injury.
  • Lost Wages: If your injury keeps you from working, you may be eligible for compensation for the income lost during your recovery. Furthermore, if the injury results in a long-term or permanent disability, you can pursue compensation for losing future earning capacity.
  • Pain and Suffering: This compensation addresses the physical pain, emotional distress, and psychological trauma resulting from the accident, intended to offer financial support for the personal hardships you've faced.
  • Property Damage: If personal belongings or property were harmed in the incident, you may qualify for reimbursement for repairs or replacements.
  • Punitive Damages: In situations where the property owner's conduct was notably reckless or egregious, the court may award punitive damages. These damages punish the offender and discourage similar misconduct in the future. 

What is the Statute of Limitations for a Premises Liability Claim in Oklahoma?

In Oklahoma, the statute of limitations for filing a premises liability claim is generally two years from the accident date. Initiating legal proceedings against the property owner or occupier within this two-year window is crucial. Acting promptly is crucial because missing this deadline can prevent you from seeking compensation. Certain exceptions, such as cases involving minors or discovering latent injuries, might apply. Therefore, consulting with experienced Tulsa premises liability lawyers as soon as possible is essential to protect your rights.

Hear From Our Past Clients
    "We are so grateful to the team at Brewster & DeAngelis."
    When we came to Brewster & DeAngelis, we had no idea what we wanted or what we were doing. We were broken and grieving and trying to make sense of a senseless situation, and Guy, Monty, Clark… the entire office, really, starting with the front desk… stepped in and took the burden off our shoulders. We didn’t have to worry about what we were doing or what we wanted anymore because they took the lead in a compassionate and efficient manner- they truly cared about helping our family and they didn’t ask us to carry any additional burdens- they took time to discover what we didn’t know we needed and they took care of business. They also made sure to address all of our needs outside of a “typical” legal experience by encouraging and facilitating our advocacy and educational awareness. We never wanted to need an attorney, but when we did, we were blessed to find amazing friends and supporters. We are so grateful to the team at Brewster & DeAngelis.

    "There are no words for how grateful I am to the entire Brewster & De Angelis team and how hard they worked to get justice for my son, Gavin, after 4 long years."
    There are no words for how grateful I am to the entire Brewster & De Angelis team and how hard they worked to get justice for my son, Gavin, after 4 long years. I sat in the court room for seven days and saw how hard each and everyone worked and the fight they put in each time they got up. I saw how much they cared. I strongly believe if it was not for this team, I would not have gotten justice for Gavin in his medical negligence case. I will forever be thankful.
    - Krystal B.
    "I will forever be grateful to the zealous lawyering and selfless generosity of this extraordinary law firm."
    My family and I are so grateful for the countless hours and all the hard work that each attorney and staff member of Brewster & De Angelis devoted over several years in the pursuit of justice. Clark Brewster and Katie Arnold McDaniel took the time to discover what no other person - not my previous defense attorney, the district attorney, or the Court - took the time to find. The erroneous cancelation of my driver’s license was the product of a court clerk’s mistake. What an amazing team! I will forever be grateful to the zealous lawyering and selfless generosity of this extraordinary law firm.
    - Stephen J.
    "Five stars!"
    Five stars! Katie is one amazingly smart cookie! Once she enters the room, you know you're in good hands! Also, probably best not to get on her bad side, you'll lose!
    - Brandon M.
    "I cannot recommend better advocates than the Brewster & DeAngelis Team."
    The office staff is polite, competent, and caring. Mr. Brewster and Mr. Fortney were generous with their time, giving detailed and informative advice. Katie Arnold McDaniel is a star. She has counseled me through various case types. Her ability to quickly understand information relevant to a dispute, analyze the issues, and find the means to resolve them is amazing to watch. Katie is a fierce advocate, compassionate, and trustworthy. She timely communicates and will do what she says she will do. I highly recommend this law firm.

    "Mbilike is the most ethical and honest attorney around and his work ethics are top notch. Thank you Mbilike"
    Mbilike with Brewster & De Angelis represented me as a defendant in a case in Claremore Oklahoma. we went through 2.5 years of discovery, depositions and on into trial. His work was excellent and stood up to everything that the opposing council threw at us. The judge was obviously impressed by his writings and responses as well. We won on every account, and did not even argue our case after the plaintiff rested, as we knew the judge had all the information needed from the plaintiffs argument. this was a long arduous suit by some really unethical people and Mbilike put it on without a hitch and received a big win. Mbilike is the most ethical and honest attorney around and his work ethics are top notch. Thank you Mbilike
    - Jim C.
    "We will be forever grateful to them for giving us a chance to live again, following the single worst day of our lives."
    Jennifer and her team have been invaluable in helping us navigate life following my father's injury. The negligence of medical "professionals" left our family broken and afraid. Without the assistance of this wonderful team, we would not have ever recovered. They advised us, listened to us, supported us, and fought for us when no one else would. We will be forever grateful to them for giving us a chance to live again, following the single worst day of our lives.
    - Jessica M.
