Tulsa Premises Liability Lawyers
An older woman went shopping in a big box retail store. She used a cane and moved more slowly than younger folks, but otherwise was in good health.
The store's automatic doors closed on her before she cleared the entryway, knocking her to the ground. She broke her hip, developed complications from hip surgery and died a year and a half after the accident.
If the safety sensors on the store's automated door opening system had been working correctly, she might be with us today.
Premises Liability Explained
If someone is injured because a property owner fails to maintain a business or home, the owner can be held financial responsible for the damages the condition caused. At Laizure & Thetford, our premises liability attorneys represent people who were injured in a wide range of property-related accidents, including those involving:
- Automatic doors — Children and the elderly are at highest risk for these accidents. We have won significant verdicts and settlements in several automatic door injury cases.
- Slip-and-fall accidents — Crumbling steps, wet floors, uneven sidewalks, potholes and rotted deck railings can all cause serious injuries from falling accidents.
- Dog bites — If a dog bites or injures anyone who has a lawful right to be in the place were the attack occurred, the dog's owner is liable for damages unless the dog bite victim provoked the attack.
- Inadequate security — We represent clients who were assaulted, shot, raped, stabbed or killed in shopping centers, hotels, motels, warehouses, parking lots, ramps, office complexes or apartments because the property lacked adequate security.
