Medical Malpractice
Serving Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and surrounding areas
Doctors and nurses are some of the most well-respected and trusted individuals in society today. We count on them to cure our illnesses and take care of us in times of weakness and vulnerability. So, when doctors and nurses make critical errors in judgment that result in injury or death, it is important that they be held accountable for their negligible actions.
Although medical professionals are required by law to exercise the utmost care, skill and diligence when treating their patients, it is estimated that over 90,000 people every year are either injured or killed due to physician or nurse error. Most of these injuries and deaths result from one of the following: the misdiagnosis of a medical condition, mistreatment of a medical condition or medication error.
A few examples of medical malpractice include failing to diagnose cancer or another deadly disease, incorrectly performing surgery, causing injury to a mother or child during delivery, failing to perform a critical test, prescribing a drug with dangerous side effects without explaining the risks and leaving a surgical instrument inside the patient during surgery.
Medical negligence can take place in the hospital, a doctor's office, or even at your own home if you or a loved one is under the care of a medical professional there. Sometimes the hospital or medical facility can be held liable, but our medical malpractice lawyers will need to discuss the specifics of the case with you and carefully examine all medical records before we can make a determination.
