Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Oklahoma applies modified comparative fault with a 51% bar. Oklahoma's product liability law follows the Restatement Second § 402A strict liability framework. Oklahoma County (Oklahoma City) and Tulsa County are the primary venues for substantial product liability cases. Oklahoma's large Native American population, rural communities, and high poverty rates create elevated instant soup consumption and child burn exposure above the national average.
