Lytle Soulé & Felty understands the changing dynamics of product liability claims in the context of work force employment. In light of recent Oklahoma Supreme Court holdings carving out exceptions to the workers' compensation exclusive remedy, many employers now find themselves named defendants with product manufacturers in civil actions. From our extensive experience with these issues, we help clients navigate through the increasingly complex product liability case law in Oklahoma. Choice of law issues are also increasingly arising in claims dealing with products manufactured and designed in different states and countries.

With attorneys licensed in Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas, we have the comparative law experience necessary to fully evaluate these and other issues.
