About Laird Hammons Laird Personal Injury Lawyers

Oklahoma does not currently require a medical-malpractice petition to include a general affidavit of merit. The Oklahoma Supreme Court struck down 12 O.S. § 19.1 in John v. Saint Francis Hospital, 2017 OK 81, and the older provision in 63 O.S. § 1-1708.1E has been repealed. Expert medical review is still usually essential to determine the standard of care, breach, and causation before filing. Oklahoma also has no general 90-day pre-suit notice requirement for an ordinary medical-malpractice action. Under 76 O.S. § 18, the claim generally must be filed within two years after the patient knew or should have known, through reasonable diligence, of the death, injury, or condition at issue. Different rules can apply to minors and people under legal disability.
