MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE CASES CAN INVOLVE INVESTMENTS OF LARGE SUMS OF MONEY AND TIME. IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A LAW FIRM WITH RESOURCES AND A TRACK RECORD TO GO AGAINST BILLION DOLLAR HOSPITALS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES. CHOOSE WISELY.

Broadly stated, medical malpractice is the misconduct by any health care provider such as a doctor, nurse, physical therapist, hospital, health maintenance organization and others. Misconduct can occur in the form of intentional misconduct, assault, battery and negligence. The most common form of misconduct in the civil arena is negligence. To prevail in a negligence claim, a jury must find that a healthcare provider failed to exercise that degree of skill and learning that is ordinarily exercised by members of the defendant’s profession under the same or similar circumstances. Not only must misconduct occur, but the misconduct must be the legal cause of injury.

Medical malpractice claims can be the most expensive types of claims to bring before a jury. The costs and expenses associated with a typical medical malpractice claim can range from $10,000.00 to $50,000.00 or more. Therefore, experience, resources and skill are important factors in successfully prosecuting a medical malpractice claim.

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.

If you believe that you have a medical malpractice claim against a healthcare provider, we will be happy to discuss your situation. Our consultation would begin with a detailed telephone conference and a follow-up meeting.


Typically medical records are obtained and reviewed by counsel and then by expert witnesses in the healthcare field pertinent to the matter. It may take an extended time period to obtain all of the information and complete all of the investigation necessary prior to launching a lawsuit. Therefore, time is of the essence in these types of claims. If you wish to contact our firm to discuss your medical malpractice issue, please act promptly.
