Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or harm to a patient. This can include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and more.
To prove malpractice, it’s essential to demonstrate that the provider’s actions directly caused the injury and that the care fell below the professional standard expected in Missouri.
In Missouri, the statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice claim is generally two years from the date the injury was discovered or should have been discovered.
Because these time frames can vary based on individual circumstances, it’s important to consult an attorney promptly to protect your rights.
Compensation may cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the injury caused by malpractice.
An experienced attorney can help quantify these damages accurately to seek full and fair compensation on your behalf.
Many medical malpractice claims are settled out of court through negotiations; however, some cases may proceed to litigation if a fair settlement isn’t reached.
We prepare for all possibilities to ensure your rights are protected throughout the process.
