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's former affidavit-of-merit filing requirement was struck down, but expert support is still usually essential. We work with leading medical experts across specialties.

Wrongful death, medical malpractice, and government-entity claims can follow different cap rules. Oklahoma's current general civil cap statute applies to many injury claims occurring on or after September 1, 2025, but it does not govern wrongful death damages the same way. We evaluate the current cap framework for the specific defendants and claim types involved.

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.
