At Schaffer Herring PLLC, we represent patients and families in Tulsa and surrounding communities who have been harmed by negligent medical care. Our attorneys are experienced in handling medical malpractice litigation involving hospitals, physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. If you or a loved one suffered an injury due to substandard medical treatment, we’re here to help you pursue justice and fair compensation.

What Qualifies as Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, causing injury or death. Not every bad outcome is malpractice, but if a provider’s error was preventable and unreasonable, you may have a valid claim.

Common examples of medical malpractice include:

• Surgical errors or wrong-site surgery
• Failure to diagnose or delayed diagnosis
• Birth injuries to mother or child
• Medication or anesthesia errors
• Infections from poor hygiene or sterilization
• Discharge without proper evaluation

These errors can lead to long-term disability, additional surgeries, or in the most tragic cases, wrongful death.

How Our Firm Handles Medical Malpractice Litigation

Medical malpractice cases are some of the most complex in personal injury law. They require detailed analysis of medical records, expert opinions, and strict compliance with procedural rules. At Schaffer Herring PLLC, we take a systematic and strategic approach.

Our litigation team will:

• Review your full medical history and records
• Consult with licensed medical experts
• Identify violations of care standards
• Handle pre-litigation notice requirements
• Prepare your case for trial, if necessary

We represent clients throughout Tulsa, Jenks, Broken Arrow, Owasso, Bixby, Glenpool, and Sand Springs, and are familiar with local hospitals and healthcare systems.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

Depending on the case, we may pursue claims against:

• Individual doctors, surgeons, or specialists
• Nurses or other licensed professionals
• Hospitals, clinics, or urgent care centers
• Nursing home staff or administrators
• Anesthesiologists or radiologists

Multiple parties may share responsibility, particularly in emergency room or surgical settings where care is shared among several providers.

Compensation in Medical Malpractice Cases

If malpractice is proven, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses (including future care)
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Rehabilitation and long-term support
• Loss of consortium or wrongful death damages

Because these cases are highly contested, early legal representation is key to building a successful claim.
