Medical Malpractice
Patients have the right to expect a reasonable level of care when seeing a medical practitioner or entering a health care facility for treatment. When potentially deadly or life-changing injuries occur, they can alter the course of your future and result in substantial loss of income or quality of life. It is vital to consult an attorney as soon as possible if you or a loved one is suffering because of a medical professional's actions.
The attorneys of the Van Meter Law Firm provide dependable, compassionate legal assistance to severely injured parties. We help determine if your injuries are grounds for a medical malpractice case.
What constitutes a valid medical malpractice claim?
Not all accidents or injuries received while under the care of a health care professional are valid medical malpractice claims. Discussing the details of your injury with a skilled medical malpractice attorney is the best way to determine if you have grounds to file suit. Our Oklahoma attorneys examine how your injury happened, its impact on your finances, and your pain and suffering.

Preparing for your case
Our lawyers believe extensive trial preparation is a key factor to success. We know medical malpractice cases are complex and often difficult to prove—which is why you need an intelligent, skilled lawyer by your side. We evaluate the exact circumstances of your injury, investigate the professional history of your health care provider, and consult expert witnesses to see if your medical issue could have been avoided. If the expert consult does not find neglect, then we advise our clients immediately. When neglect is found, we identify responsible parties and file suit within Oklahoma's two year statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims. Most importantly, we answer your questions and keep a close watch on your recovery to ensure you are doing well.
While our lawyers do everything possible to reach a settlement before taking your case to court, we do not hesitate to go to trial if your opposition proves difficult or is unwilling to award appropriate compensation. We also handle appeals for select cases.
