Medical Malpractice Attorneys in Tulsa, Oklahoma

When you go visit your doctor, therapist, or any type of medical professional, you should have the right to reasonably expect genuine care and improvement to your wellness, or at least the right solutions to strive to get you there. After all, we usually seek out their services — whether for ourselves or our loved ones — during times of sickness, injury, and when we have questions about our health and well-being.

Medical professionals take an oath to provide the utmost care to their patients, but what happens when they fail to uphold it? This is called medical malpractice and, unfortunately, it happens more than you probably realized. As recently as 2012, over $3 billion was spent in medical malpractice payouts, averaging one payout every 43 minutes. While not all medical malpractice is malicious, medical negligence can be equally as dangerous and deserving of compensation for the harm it causes.
