How We Can Help You Seek Justice After Follow-Up Care Failure

We take our role seriously because we know the stakes are high for individuals and families in Tulsa who trust us to seek justice. We provide comprehensive legal strategies designed to address the unique challenges of poor aftercare claims, including:

• Gathering Evidence. We’ll work diligently to gather all relevant evidence, such as medical records, communication logs, and expert witness testimony, to establish how the poor follow-up care directly caused harm. Being based in Tulsa allows us to access local healthcare facilities and work with area-specific experts familiar with Oklahoma medical standards.
• Proving Negligence. Proving negligence in a poor aftercare case requires demonstrating that the healthcare provider did not meet the standard of care expected in similar situations. Whether it’s missed follow-ups on test results, failure to communicate critical information, or neglecting to provide proper aftercare instructions, we’ll connect these errors to the harm you experienced.
• Evaluating Damages. Our attorneys will comprehensively evaluate the financial, physical, and emotional damages caused by the failure in follow-up care. From ongoing medical expenses to loss of income and pain and suffering, we’ll ensure all areas of impact are accounted for in your claim.
• Negotiating or Litigating on Your Behalf. If a fair resolution is possible through negotiation, we’ll work to secure the compensation you deserve. However, our team is prepared to take the case to trial if needed, advocating aggressively for your rights at every step.

What Qualifies as Poor Aftercare or Follow-Up Care in Tulsa?

Not all unfavorable medical outcomes qualify as malpractice. However, certain types of poor aftercare or follow-up care can legally constitute negligence if they fail to meet Oklahoma’s accepted medical standards. 

Common Examples of Poor Follow-Up Care

• Failure to Follow Up on Test Results: Up to 61% of hospitalized patients experience incomplete follow-ups regarding critical test results. This can delay essential treatments, particularly for conditions like cancer or high-risk infections, causing significant harm.
• Missed Appointments Not Addressed. It’s a healthcare provider’s responsibility to contact patients regarding missed appointments that involve test results or necessary treatments. When this doesn’t happen, the consequences can be life-threatening.
• Improper Discharge Procedures. Patients discharged from hospitals without thorough post follow-up protocols risk unnecessary readmissions. For instance, around 20% of Medicare beneficiaries experience preventable readmissions due to post-hospital care gaps.
• Failure to Communicate Urgency. Medical professionals must communicate the importance and timescale of follow-up treatments. Delayed responses can turn treatable conditions into serious emergencies.

Linking the Error to the Harm

One of the biggest challenges in medical malpractice follow-up cases is connecting the dots between the medical provider’s failure and the damage you or your loved one endured. This could mean tracing how a delayed cancer diagnosis led to loss of curable options or showing that a lack of prescribed post-surgical rehabilitation caused long-term health complications. Our Tulsa legal team will meticulously work to make these connections clear.
