Even after decades and hundreds of stories of nursing home abuse, the problem persists across the nation. Many of the victims survive, but in the most tragic cases, the abuse causes death, and those cases often requires the assistance of a wrongful death lawyer. Oklahoma is no exception.

This has been the case for many people who took Paxil, and other anti-depressants in the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) category. As an Oklahoma Paxil lawyer, we’ve seen clients who have had to deal with the side effects of the drug, and how it negatively affected their lives.

Concerned parents and driving safety advocates in Oklahoma were disheartened last week when the Oklahoma Senate rejected a bill that would prevent teens from using cell phones while driving.

In 2010, there were 245 drunk driving fatalities in Oklahoma, up 17.2% from 2009, when there were 209 fatalities.
