When Medical Care Kills Instead of Heals.

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider—doctor, nurse, hospital, or other medical professional—deviates from the accepted standard of care, and that deviation causes injury or death. We must prove the provider failed to do what a competent provider would have done under similar circumstances.

We retain qualified medical experts who review the records and testify about the standard of care, how it was breached, and how that breach caused the death. Oklahoma law requires an affidavit of merit from a qualified expert before filing suit. We work with leading medical experts across specialties.

Oklahoma previously had a cap on non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases, but it was struck down as unconstitutional by the Oklahoma Supreme Court. Currently, there is no cap on wrongful death damages, though this area of law continues to evolve. We track current legal developments.

Potentially yes. If the doctor was an employee of the hospital (not an independent contractor), the hospital may be directly liable. Additionally, hospitals can be liable for their own negligence—understaffing, inadequate supervision, equipment failures, and systemic failures. We investigate hospital liability.

Oklahoma's statute of limitations for medical malpractice is two years from the date the injury was discovered or should have been discovered. For wrongful death, the clock typically starts at death. Claims against government hospitals may have shorter deadlines. Time is critical—contact us immediately.

We need all medical records from the providers involved—hospital records, physician notes, lab results, imaging studies, and nursing notes. We also need the death certificate and autopsy report if available. We can help you obtain these records if you don't already have them.
