Re: City liability

Unfortunately for accident victims, there are substantial restrictions on liability for dangerous conditions and even more restrictions for accidents caused by government agencies creating dangerous conditions. The Governmental Tort Claims Act also requires that you make a formal claim promptly or your claim will be reduced or barred. You should consult an attorney licensed in Oklahoma immediately regarding your claim. I offer free initial consultations. Please contact me at [email protected].
