About Dog Bites Cases in Oklahoma

Oklahoma has one of the strongest dog bite laws in the country. Under Oklahoma's strict liability statute, dog owners are responsible for injuries caused by their dogs — regardless of whether the dog had ever bitten anyone before. If you or a child was bitten or attacked by a dog in Oklahoma, you are entitled to compensation for medical bills, scarring, and emotional trauma.

What to Do After a Dog Bite Lawyer in Tulsa

2

Report the bite to Tulsa Animal Control

An official report creates a record and may reveal prior bite history.
