Hospital/Doctor Malpractice in Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City Medical Malpractice Attorney

A doctor or hospital may be held accountable for medical malpractice in situations where a patient has received negligent treatment and has been injured as a result. Making sure the incident is reported is an important part of seeking financial compensation for your injuries as well as helping to ensure that others do not suffer your same fate.

Reporting the incident to the proper authority at the hospital is one step to take, but it is important to ensure that you do not make any formal statements or sign any type of release that would limit your ability to sue. You may be in a situation where you will face exorbitant medical bills and a lasting physical condition that will impact your life in various ways. It is important that your right to take legal action is preserved.
