Medical Malpractice Attorneys for Moore Patients
Moore families rely on Norman Regional, SSM Health St. Anthony South, and OKC-area hospitals for critical care. When negligent treatment causes preventable harm, you need an attorney who knows both the medicine and the Cleveland County courtroom.
Oklahoma's Strict Medical Malpractice Requirements
Medical malpractice cases in Oklahoma have procedural hurdles that trip up unprepared attorneys. In Cleveland County — where cases are filed in Norman — knowing these rules is the difference between a viable claim and a dismissed case.
Affidavit of Merit
Under 63 O.S. § 1-1708.1E, you must file an expert affidavit within 90 days of filing suit — or your case is dismissed. We secure board-certified experts before filing your Cleveland County claim.
Statute of Limitations
Two years from discovery. For Moore patients transferred to OU Health or INTEGRIS for complex surgery, determining when the injury was “discovered” requires careful medical timeline analysis.
No Fee Unless We Win
Medical malpractice cases are expensive to litigate — expert witnesses, medical records, depositions. We advance all costs and only get paid if you recover compensation.
Healthcare Systems Serving Moore
Moore residents access care through a mix of local facilities and OKC-area hospital systems. When negligence occurs, we hold them accountable.
Norman Regional Moore
Norman Regional Health System operates the Moore campus on NW 12th Street — Cleveland County's closest full-service hospital for Moore residents. Emergency care, diagnostic imaging, and outpatient surgery are performed here.
SSM Health St. Anthony South
Located on I-35 at 104th Street — just minutes from Moore — SSM Health St. Anthony South handles emergency, cardiac, orthopedic, and women's services. High surgical volume creates compounding risk for procedural errors.
OU Health & INTEGRIS
Moore patients are routinely transferred to OU Health (a state entity with tort claim notice requirements) and INTEGRIS Baptist for complex surgeries, trauma, and specialty care. Transfer handoff errors create unique liability patterns.

Surgical Errors
Wrong-site surgery, retained instruments, and nerve damage at SSM St. Anthony South and OKC hospitals where Moore patients are referred.
Misdiagnosis & Delayed Diagnosis
Missed cancer diagnoses, heart attack misidentification, and ER failures — especially at busy emergency departments serving the I-35 corridor.
Medication Errors
Wrong drug, wrong dose, and dangerous interactions — compounding risk when patients transfer between Norman Regional and OKC hospitals.
Birth Injuries
Cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, and oxygen deprivation at delivery hospitals serving Moore families — failure to monitor fetal distress and delayed C-sections.
Wrongful Death
When medical negligence at a Cleveland County hospital results in death, families deserve accountability and full economic compensation.

Read the Article →Frequently Asked Questions
Most cases involve care at Norman Regional Moore — Cleveland County's local hospital campus — or at OKC-area hospitals where Moore residents are referred for surgeries and complex procedures. OU Health, INTEGRIS Baptist, and SSM Health St. Anthony South (on I-35 at 104th) handle the majority of specialist referrals from Moore.
Under 63 O.S. § 1-1708.1E, you must file an affidavit from a qualified medical expert within 90 days of filing your lawsuit. This expert must confirm the healthcare provider deviated from the standard of care. Missing this deadline results in automatic dismissal. We secure qualified experts before filing.
Yes. Norman Regional Health System is a private not-for-profit hospital, so standard malpractice procedures apply. However, OU Health — where many Moore patients are transferred for complex surgeries — is a state entity that may involve the Oklahoma Governmental Tort Claims Act with shorter notice requirements and damage caps.
Oklahoma's statute of limitations is two years from the date the injury was or should have been discovered. However, the 90-day Affidavit of Merit deadline begins when you file suit, and claims against OU Health have additional government tort notice requirements. Contact an attorney immediately.
Yes. Oklahoma caps non-economic damages (pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment) at approximately $400,000, adjusted for inflation. Economic damages — medical bills, lost wages, future care costs — are not capped. For Moore workers commuting to Tinker AFB or OKC employers who suffer career-ending malpractice injuries, economic damages often far exceed the non-economic cap.
We handle surgical errors, misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis, medication errors, birth injuries, anesthesia errors, ER negligence, and nursing home medical neglect. We represent patients harmed at any healthcare facility in the Moore, Norman, and south OKC metro area.
