At Johnson & Biscone in Oklahoma City, our qualified attorneys have spent more than 40 years helping people understand their rights when negligence leads to serious harm. One of the most devastating outcomes of medical malpractice is permanent disability.
When Medical Mistakes Lead to Permanent Injury
Medical malpractice happens when a healthcare provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care and that failure harms a patient. These cases can involve a wide range of mistakes. Examples include surgical errors, wrong medications, birth-related injuries, or delayed diagnosis of a serious condition.
When these errors occur, the results can be lasting. A surgical mistake could leave you with permanent nerve damage. A missed diagnosis could allow a disease to progress beyond treatment. A birth injury could leave a child with permanent developmental challenges. These are not mere setbacks; they can alter the course of a person’s entire life.
The Impact of Permanent Disability on Victims
A permanent disability affects far more than just your health. Â
Everyday tasks can become difficult, and you may need ongoing treatment or therapy to get through daily life. You may no longer be able to work, and your family might need to step in to help in ways they never anticipated.
In Oklahoma, it’s not enough to know something went wrong — you must prove a provider’s mistake caused your disability. That means looking closely at medical records, timelines, and expert opinions.
These cases can be complex, which is why having an attorney who understands medical malpractice law is so important.
