How do I file a claim under Dangerous Products Law?

Filing a claim under Oklahoma’s Dangerous Products Law can seem like an intimidating process, but it is actually quite straightforward. The first step is to gather evidence. If you’ve experienced harm or damages due to a dangerous product, you will need to gather evidence to prove your case. This can include photos or videos of the product you’re claiming is dangerous, receipts for payment, medical reports or bills, and any other documents you feel might be helpful. Next, you must write a formal claim letter. This should include a description of the product, the date of purchase, the date of injury, any evidence you’ve collected, and a summary of the harm caused. You should also include a demand for compensation or a fix to the dangerous product. Once the letter is written, you must file your claim with the proper court. In Oklahoma, you would file a claim in the District Court of the county where either the injury occurred or where the product was purchased. You will need to pay a filing fee, though depending on your circumstances this fee may be waived. Finally, once the claim is filed, the court will set a hearing date. At the hearing, you will present your evidence and make your case. The judge will then make a ruling based on the evidence presented. If the judge rules in your favor, you will be compensated or the product will be fixed.
