About Medical Malpractice
In the state of Missouri, medical malpractice cases have recently become very difficult. There are caps on recovery that do injustice to people whose lives and the lives of their families were damaged irreparably by negligent doctors.
The only viable option that people have after suffering medical malpractice is to get an experienced trial lawyer who can help them get the maximum allowable by law to pay for their further medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other expenses. At Kolker & Germeroth, L.L.C., our lawyers take cases involving any of the following:
- Misdiagnosis, missed diagnosis of serious conditions
- Birth injuries
- Surgical errors
- Emergency room errors
- Overmedication
- Wrongful death
- Catastrophic injury: brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations
Keep in mind that not all failed medical procedures constitute malpractice. It is only malpractice if the doctor, nurse, or other medical professional failed to uphold the basic standards of care. If, for example, a very risky surgery failed despite everyone's best efforts, it does not constitute malpractice. If, however, a doctor failed to notice a tumor in a basic examination, it could be malpractice.
Our lawyers know how to investigate an incident and build strong cases showing that malpractice occurred. We consult with medical professionals and work hard to get medical records. Our attorneys are known for their trial work, and are always willing to take a case to court if necessary.
