Generally, the statute of limitations in which to file a medical negligence lawsuit is two years. There are exceptions to this general rule but they are generally strictly construed. Because of the short statute of limitations, prompt legal advice is highly recommended. There are many types of claims that can be pursued including: lost chance of recovery; failure to diagnose; inadequate informed consent; wrongful death; and fraudulent concealment.

Our firm has successfully prosecuted many malpractice claims to settlement and verdicts including holding a verdict against a medical doctor before the Supreme Court of the State of Missouri.
