Hurt in a Fall in Edmond? Know Your Rights.
From slippery grocery store entrances on 2nd Street to cracked sidewalks outside apartment complexes off Danforth, slip and fall accidents happen all over Edmond. When property owners fail to maintain safe walkways, lighting, and flooring — and someone gets hurt — they can be held legally responsible. If you were injured in a fall, Aldridge Teasdale can help you pursue compensation. We’ve been representing injured Oklahomans for over 20 years — and we know how to win these cases.

- Uneven pavement in restaurant and gas station parking lots
- Broken stairs in apartment buildings along Covell or Danforth
