Oklahoma State Dog Bite Laws:
In Oklahoma, a dog owner is strictly liable for damages caused by his/her dog when the dog bites or injures a person, but only if the injured person is lawfully present on the property in question at the time of the bite or injury. A person is considered to be lawfully on the owner's property if he or she was invited to be there, such as a friend or a repair person. A trespasser is not considered a lawful guest of the owner. A dog owner is not liable, however, for injuries sustained by a person lawfully present if that person provoked the dog, causing the dog to attack.
The owner of a dog declared to be potentially dangerous must meet certain legal requirements. These legal requirements may be regulated by local, municipal, and county authorities. The regulations, however, may not be breed specific. The owner must register the dangerous dog with the state, maintain a liability insurance policy to cover any damage caused by the dog, and post clearly-visible warning signs on the property indicating the presence of a dangerous dog. Special care must also be taken by the owner in how the dog is confined. When the dog is on the owner's property, the dog must be properly confined indoors or in a secure enclosure outdoors. When the dog is not confined, the owner must properly restrain the dog with a muzzle and chain or leash and physically controlled by a responsible person over the age of 16.
