Is the homeowner liable since his gate blew open into the street as I was passing?
I know it was the wind, but it was not secured and extended into the street when open.
Thanks
answered on Aug 7, 2022
An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It sounds like the homeowner would be liable as a general matter. Coverage could depend on the policy. If the carrier considered such a claim, they would conduct a more detailed investigation of the gate, weather,... Read more »
To reach a settlement the mother has to agree. And as it is up to the courts either the child waits till 18 to receive the money or parent is given a monthly amount to get what the child needs

An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. If the mother was the operator of the other vehicle, then she would have a claim brought against her - but that vehicle's insurance should cover that. In terms of your second point on the settlement for a minor,... Read more »

An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. This is something that attorneys in the Libel/Slander category would know better than car accident attorneys. There's no guarantee all questions are picked up, but you could repost in that category. Good luck

Can I get out of the ticket they gave me in Oklahoma
answered on Jan 17, 2022

Things out or are they required to let me get my stuff out by law?
