Holding negligent facilities accountable when they fail to protect Oklahoma's most vulnerable residents.
When a nursing home or assisted living facility in Oklahoma City fails your loved one, whether through abuse, neglect, or exploitation, Colton Richardson is ready to fight for your family. He handles nursing home abuse cases throughout Oklahoma County and the OKC metro, and he never charges a fee unless he wins.
Oklahoma County has a large concentration of nursing homes and long-term care facilities, many of which have received state citations for substandard care. The Oklahoma State Department of Health and DHS Adult Protective Services both have offices in Oklahoma City and investigate nursing home complaints. Cases are heard in Oklahoma County District Court. Colton Richardson appears regularly in OKC courts and is familiar with the facilities, defense firms, and insurance carriers operating in this market.
Nursing home abuse and neglect is a devastating betrayal of trust. When you place a loved one in a long-term care facility, you expect them to receive safe, dignified, and competent care. When that trust is violated, whether through physical abuse, neglect, medication errors, or financial exploitation, Oklahoma law gives your family the right to hold the facility accountable. Colton Richardson fights for nursing home abuse victims and their families across Oklahoma.
If your loved one is in immediate danger, contact the facility administrator and request an emergency transfer to a hospital or different facility.
File a complaint with Oklahoma DHS Adult Protective Services (1-800-522-3511) and the Long-Term Care Ombudsman. For criminal abuse, contact Oklahoma City Police or the Oklahoma County Sheriff.
Photograph all injuries, pressure sores, and unsafe conditions. Keep a written log with dates and details. Save all written communications with the facility.
Request your loved one's complete medical records and all incident reports. Facilities sometimes alter or destroy records after complaints, so acting quickly is critical.
We can help you preserve evidence, navigate the regulatory complaint process, and build a civil case for compensation. There is no cost to consult with us.
Oklahoma nursing home residents are protected by the Nursing Home Care Act (63 O.S. § 1-1901 et seq.), including its residents'-rights provisions at 63 O.S. § 1-1918. These laws establish minimum standards of care and give residents the right to be free from abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Violations can support both negligence and statutory claims. The Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) and the Long-Term Care Ombudsman investigate complaints. Oklahoma's statute of limitations for nursing home abuse claims is generally two years, though the discovery rule may apply when abuse was concealed.
Colton Richardson handles nursing home abuse cases throughout Oklahoma, including the OKC metro. He investigates facilities, retains medical and nursing standards experts, and fights the well-funded defense teams that protect nursing home chains. No fee unless we win.
