Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider fails to meet accepted standards of care, resulting in injury or harm to the patient. This can include errors in diagnosis, treatment, surgery, or medication.
To succeed in a claim, the patient must prove that the negligence directly caused the injury and that damages resulted from this breach of duty.
Missouri law generally requires that medical malpractice claims be filed within two years from the date the injury was discovered or should have been discovered.
There are exceptions, so it is important to consult a qualified attorney promptly to understand your specific deadlines.
Victims may recover compensatory damages including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and rehabilitation costs.
Each case is unique, so the exact damages depend on the circumstances and severity of the injury.
