How Long Do I Have to File a Medical Malpractice Claim in Oklahoma?

Since medical malpractice injuries are not always discovered when they are sustained, the statute of limitations to file a medical malpractice claim works differently from filing other personal injury claims. According to Oklahoma Statutes section 76-18, you have two years from the date you were injured or, either the date you discovered or should have reasonably discovered your injury, to file a claim. The statute of limitations can be complex. Contact our firm today to learn how this law may affect your case and how our team of experienced medical malpractice attorneys in Oklahoma can help you.
