Who’s Responsible for Dangerous Roads?

Potholes, missing street signs, and malfunctioning traffic signals can cause serious accidents. If poor road conditions contributed to your crash, the City of Tulsa or the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) may be held liable.

How to File a Claim Against the City of Tulsa

1. Report the Hazard – The city must have prior knowledge of the dangerous condition.
2. File a Government Tort Claim – Oklahoma law requires claims against the government to be filed within one year.
3. Prove Negligence – You must prove the city was aware of the hazard but failed to fix it.
