What Does It Mean to Be Medically Negligent?

A healthcare provider or healthcare facility is medically negligent when they (or their employees) do not treat patients according to the accepted standards of the medical profession. Medical negligence can result in preventable medical errors and injuries.

Examples of negligence in St. Louis medical malpractice claims may include:

Our legal team has experience with a broad range of medical malpractice injuries. If you believe you or someone you love suffered harm due to medical negligence, our lawyers can discuss your options.

How Can You Prove Negligence in a Medical Malpractice Case?

Proving negligence in St. Louis medical misconduct cases requires demonstrating certain criteria. We will work to prove that:

  • A doctor/patient relationship existed between you and the medical provider or facility in question
  • The doctor or facility did not treat you according to the accepted standard of care that the medical profession dictates
  • The treatment you received was a direct cause of your injury
  • Because of your injury, you incurred financial damages and experienced pain and suffering

The most challenging aspect of most medical malpractice cases is establishing that your doctor made a mistake and that you did not simply suffer an unpreventable negative outcome. Building a case often requires getting second opinions and hiring and working with medical experts.

Our law firm combines aggressive advocacy with compassionate client service. We can use our extensive medical malpractice case experience and legal knowledge to collect evidence to support your claim, including relevant medical and scientific findings.

Healthcare Providers Should Pay for Injuries Caused by Medical Errors

You should not have to pay the bill for medical treatment that harmed you. You should also not have to pay for the care necessary to correct a medical error. Our attorneys in St. Louis can help you prove negligence and seek the maximum compensation possible for your medical injury.

In addition to your past, current, and future healthcare expenses, we can pursue money for your lost wages, lost earning capacity, physical pain and suffering, and mental and emotional anguish.

If a preventable medical mistake fatally injured your loved one, our lawyers can help you with a wrongful death claim. We understand that no amount of financial compensation can make up for the loss of a family member, but it can give you space to grieve without worrying about medical costs and other economic pressures.

File Your Malpractice Claim Before Time Runs Out

Our attorneys can help you file a medical malpractice claim in St. Louis immediately following a medical injury caused by negligence. It is important to act quickly because if you must take legal action, you have two years to file a medical malpractice suit in civil court, according to Missouri Revised Statutes § 516.105.

If the statute of limitations runs out, the court will typically refuse your lawsuit, and you will lose your leverage over the insurance company.
