How Oklahoma Law Affects Your Product Liability Claim

Oklahoma follows a modified comparative fault system with a 50% bar and does not cap non-economic damages in personal injury cases. The state's oil and gas industry generates unique personal injury claims, including those involving workplace accidents at drilling sites and refineries. Oklahoma City and Tulsa have active plaintiff's bars that handle a wide range of serious injury cases.

Under Oklahoma's modified comparative fault (50% bar) system, your settlement may be affected if you share any responsibility for the accident. Your recovery will be reduced by your fault percentage, and you are barred from recovery if your fault reaches 50% or more.
