Oklahoma Damages Allocation Under Comparative Negligence Rule

In Oklahoma, damages are allocated according to the comparative negligence rule set out in Okla. Stat. tit. 23, § 13. Under this statute, a plaintiff’s recovery is reduced in proportion to the percentage of fault assigned to them, provided their fault is not greater than the combined fault of all other parties. The trier of fact determines each party’s percentage of responsibility, and the court applies that ratio to reduce the total damages. The official source contains the complete statutory language and any applicable exceptions. The worked example below demonstrates how the reduction is calculated using the percentages from the statute. To estimate your own potential recovery under this rule, use the DocketMath calculator.
