Medical Malpractice And Wrongful Death Claims In Oklahoma

Research shows that more than 250,000 deaths occur annually in the states. When a doctor fails to provide a minimal standard of care, patients suffer due to medical malpractice. If the patient dies or suffers from serious problems, the patient's party can contact a medical liability lawyer to file a wrongful death claim. Examples of medical malpractice are - surgical errors, bedsores, hospital-acquired infections, birth injuries, medical-related mistakes, and the inability to predict a patient's potential strokes. The compensation covers medical costs, funeral, and burial expenses, loss of income, and compensation for mental suffering. Spouses, children, or adopting parents must file for the claim within two years.
