The American Medical Association reports one in three healthcare providers will be sued for malpractice during their careers. However, nearly 80 percent of these cases are found in favor of the medical provider, demonstrating the importance of having malpractice cases be handled by a qualified and experienced legal team.
Statute of Limitations for Medical Malpractice in Oklahoma
You have two years from the date of injury to file a medical malpractice claim in Oklahoma. TThis period may start on the actual date the injury occurred or, if symptoms of injury are delayed, on the date it became known.
While you have two years to take legal action, speaking with an attorney long before the statute of limitations approaches is ideal. Some types of evidence may become harder to collect as time passes. Swift action helps preserve relevant information, which can help strengthen a case. Waiting may complicate this process and interfere with your ability to collect fair and total compensation.
