Our approach is grounded in thorough investigation and compassionate representation, aiming to hold healthcare providers accountable for their actions. We stand by our clients through every step of the legal process.
By leveraging deep knowledge of medical malpractice law and Missouri regulations, we work to secure fair compensation. Our commitment drives us to fight vigorously on behalf of those harmed.
Filing a medical malpractice claim involves demonstrating that a medical professional’s negligence caused injury or worsened a condition. Proving liability requires both medical evidence and legal expertise, making guidance indispensable.
Missouri law places specific requirements and statutes of limitations on malpractice claims. Timely action and careful case preparation can make a significant difference in achieving a favorable resolution for injured parties.
We pay close attention to the unique circumstances of each case and collaborate with medical professionals to build a strong case. Our goal is to support clients emotionally and legally during these difficult times.
We begin with a thorough review of your medical records and circumstances to determine the viability of your claim under Missouri law.
Next, we collect detailed medical evidence and consult with expert witnesses to establish negligence and causation.
We negotiate with healthcare providers' insurers aiming for a fair settlement that compensates for damages without the need for trial when possible.
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we prepare for litigation to present your case effectively in court seeking full restitution.
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, directly causing harm or injury to a patient. This can include errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare, or health management.
Missouri law requires that the negligence be proven by showing that the provider’s actions were inconsistent with what competent professionals would have done under similar circumstances.
In Missouri, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims is generally two years from the date the injury was discovered or should have been discovered.
There are exceptions and specific rules depending on the circumstances, so it is important to consult with an attorney promptly to preserve your rights.
Compensation may include payment for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to your injury.
Each case is unique, and the amount awarded depends on the severity of the injury and the impact on your quality of life.
While it is not legally required to have an attorney, navigating medical malpractice claims is complex and having knowledgeable legal representation greatly improves the chances of a successful outcome.
An experienced attorney can help gather evidence, manage deadlines, and negotiate with insurers on your behalf.
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, your case may proceed to trial where both sides present evidence before a judge or jury.
Your attorney will advocate strongly on your behalf to secure just compensation through this process.
Ott Law works on a contingency fee basis for medical malpractice claims, which means you pay no upfront fees and only pay if we recover compensation for you.
