Why are premises liability cases different from regular accident cases?
Premises liability cases in Moore, OK differ from typical accident cases for three main reasons:
The injured person’s classification is critical. Oklahoma law categorizes people on property as invitees, licensees, or trespassers, and the duty owed depends on this classification.
More than one entity may be at fault. Fault may include parties beyond just the owner, such as the business occupant, property management company, service provider, or third-party security firm.
Critical evidence vanishes fast. CCTV recordings, incident reports, and witness memories may be erased or forgotten within days or weeks unless a preservation letter is issued.
