How are premises liability cases different from other injury cases?
Premises liability cases in Mustang, OK differ from ordinary personal injury claims for three main reasons:
Oklahoma law classifies visitors differently. Oklahoma law recognizes three types of visitors: invitees, licensees, and trespassers, and each category receives a different legal duty.
Multiple parties can be liable. Liability may extend beyond the property owner to the lessee or store operator, property management company, cleaning service, or security contractor.
Evidence disappears quickly. Security camera video, incident reports, and witness memories are often deleted or fade in a short period without prompt legal action.
