When healthcare providers fail their patients, the consequences can be devastating. We hold doctors, hospitals, and medical facilities accountable for negligence—with expert physicians who establish exactly what went wrong.
Medical negligence takes many forms. We handle:
Missed cancer, delayed diagnosis, failure to order tests, misreading lab results, dismissing symptoms
Wrong-site surgery, retained instruments, nerve damage, anesthesia errors, post-op complications
Botched plastic surgery, med spa injuries, fillers, laser burns, and informed-consent disputes
Cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, oxygen deprivation, failure to perform C-section, forceps injuries
Wrong medication, incorrect dosage, dangerous interactions, pharmacy errors, overdose
To win a medical malpractice case, you must prove all four elements:
A doctor-patient relationship existed, creating a duty to provide competent care.
The provider failed to meet the standard of care—what a competent provider would have done.
The breach directly caused your injury. This is often the most contested element.
You suffered actual, quantifiable harm—medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering.
The standard of care isn't perfection—it's what a reasonably competent provider would do. Factors include:
A cardiologist is held to the standard of other cardiologists, not general practitioners. Specialists face higher expectations in their field.
What did the doctor know—or should have known—at the time? Hindsight isn't the standard; reasonable medical judgment is.
Treatment must align with what the medical community accepts. Multiple acceptable approaches may exist; following any of them is usually sufficient.
Protocols from medical associations (AMA, specialty boards) inform—but don't automatically establish—the standard. Deviation requires justification.
A rural ER may have different capabilities than a major trauma center. The standard accounts for what was reasonably available.
Multiple parties may share responsibility for your injury:
Important:Hospitals often argue doctors are "independent contractors" to avoid liability. We investigate employment relationships, apparent agency, and hospital policies to identify all responsible parties. If the hospital held the doctor out as their employee, they may still be liable.
Medical negligence often causes life-altering harm requiring substantial compensation:
* For many injuries on or after September 1, 2025, Oklahoma's current general civil cap starts at $500,000 unless a statutory exception applies. Economic damages are not capped by that statute.
Oklahoma has specific rules that make medical malpractice cases challenging:
Oklahoma's former Section 19.1 affidavit filing requirement was struck down in John v. Saint Francis Hospital. Expert review remains critical because malpractice cases usually require qualified medical testimony.
Generally 2 years from when the injury was discovered or reasonably should have been discovered. Special rules may apply for minors, incompetency, concealment, government entities, and federal facilities.
For injuries on or after September 1, 2025, Oklahoma generally caps pain and suffering at $500,000 unless a statutory exception applies. Economic damages are not capped.
Claims involving public hospitals, county facilities, tribal or federal facilities may require administrative notices or claims before suit. Those deadlines can be shorter than ordinary malpractice deadlines.
These cases are complex and require expert medical review. We work with board-certified physicians to evaluate your case and fight for full compensation.
