The medical system is notorious for putting profits over people. Approximately 400,000 hospitalized patients experience some type of preventable harm each year.*

To save money, hospitals commonly cut back staff beyond optimal levels. Whether they want to or not, doctors are required to see too many patients in too little time – we’ve all been victims of this.

We are aggressive litigators in court yet patient and caring with our clients. We dig deeper because we care what happens to you. Our lawyers will uncover exactly what happened in your case, exposing systemic issues such as understaffing, inadequate supervision, or the hiring of unqualified personnel, including individuals with concerning backgrounds that should have raised red flags.

We draw on 40+ years of combined experience to help you through the healing process, not just the legal process. We will help you file insurance claims, fight off debt collectors, and more. We will do whatever it takes to help you regain control of your life and move forward with confidence.

Our financial interests are aligned with yours. We don’t get paid unless you do.

Beyond that, we are not a high-volume personal injury law firm. We don’t churn and burn clients. We take only the cases we believe in, and we dig deeper and fight harder to maximize the compensation we recover for each.

We frequently take cases rejected by other law firms and settle them for millions of dollars.

Our Kansas City medical malpractice attorneys will thoroughly investigate the following potential defendants:

• Medical professionals – physicians, nurses, surgeons, dentists, chiropractors, lab techs, midwives, and other direct caregivers
• Healthcare facilities – hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and more, where malpractice occurs
• Pharmacists and pharmacies – for medication errors or prescription-related issues
• Healthcare staff – support staff or technicians involved in your care
• Medical device manufacturers – in cases of defective devices
• Government entities – for government-employed healthcare professionals
• Third-party contractors – contracted by healthcare facilities

Each case is unique, but our Kansas City medical malpractice attorneys are committed to digging deeper and uncovering your maximum compensation. We will thoroughly explore compensation for:

• Severity and long-term impact of the injury, regardless of medical expenses
• Medical expense reimbursement – including hospitalization, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical treatment
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• Disability and impairment
• Rehabilitation and therapy costs
• Wrongful death damages – in the tragic event of a fatality, surviving family members may be eligible for compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and emotional distress
• Punitive damages – if the incident was particularly egregious, punitive damages may be awarded
• Legal fees – including attorney fees and court expenses

How much you get will depend on these 5 things:

1. How great are your losses?
2. How egregious is the liability?
3. Can the wrong-doer pay?
4. Where will you have to file suit?
5. Are you likeable?
