Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the standard of care, resulting in injury or harm to the patient. This can include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or medication mistakes.
In Missouri, proving medical malpractice involves showing that the provider owed a duty, breached that duty, and caused damages as a direct result. Consulting an attorney can help determine if your case meets these criteria.
Missouri generally has a two-year statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims, starting from when the injury was discovered or should have been discovered.
However, exceptions may apply depending on the specific circumstances. It is important to consult with a qualified attorney promptly to ensure your claim is timely filed.
Damages may include compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages for gross negligence.
An experienced attorney can help quantify your damages and seek fair compensation through negotiation or litigation.
While not required, retaining a knowledgeable attorney significantly improves your chances of success by navigating complex legal requirements and advocating on your behalf.
Professional legal representation also helps in gathering necessary evidence and negotiating settlement offers effectively.
Our firm operates on a contingency fee basis for medical malpractice claims, meaning you pay nothing unless we secure compensation for you.

Not all mistakes qualify as malpractice—there must be negligence or deviation from standard care. Honest errors without negligence typically do not meet legal thresholds.
