Questions?What Is an Oklahoma Birth Injury Lawyer?
An Oklahoma birth injury lawyer represents families in cases involving preventable birth injuries caused by medical mistakes during pregnancy, labor, or delivery.

Oklahoma birth injury attorneys help families pursue financial support for a child’s long-term medical care, therapy, adaptive equipment, and other lifelong needs.
“An experienced attorney can review your situation and help you understand if your child’s injury could have been prevented and what legal options may be available to your family.”
— Ricky LeBlanc, birth injury attorney

Hospital Care and Birth Complications in Oklahoma
The care a baby receives during labor and delivery can shape what happens next. When proper procedures are missed or care is delayed, the risk of serious birth complications increases.

These are some NICUs across Oklahoma:
- Ascension Comanche County Memorial Hospital (Lawton)
- Hillcrest Medical Center (Tulsa)
- INTEGRIS Bass Baptist Medical Center (Enid)
- INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center (Oklahoma City)
- INTEGRIS Health Canadian Valley Hospital (Yukon)
- INTEGRIS Health Edmond (Edmond)

- Oklahoma Children’s Hospital at OU Health (Oklahoma City)
- Saint Francis Hospital (Tulsa)
- SSM Health St. Anthony Hospital (Oklahoma City)
- St. John Medical Center (Tulsa)
- The Children’s Hospital at Saint Francis (Tulsa)
If your baby needed NICU care due to preventable mistakes or was harmed by a delay in getting there, it may be considered medical negligence.
