How Do You Prove Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice is often characterized as an instance in which treatment from a medical professional falls below the accepted standards of care or violates a patient’s rights. Many people may be victims of medical malpractice and not even realize that their injuries and suffering were a result of a doctor’s malpractice.
The following elements can indicate medical malpractice:
- A duty was owed to the patient
- That duty was not upheld
- The practice deviated from the medical standard
- These actions led to an injury to the patient.
In most cases, victims or the family of a victim of medical malpractice have up to two years from the date of their injury to file a claim. It may be difficult to tie your injury back to one specific date or incident.

Medical Malpractice Claims in Missouri
An attorney can help you understand the intricacies of a medical malpractice claim and can help you understand the specific nature of your case. Not only can a skilled attorney investigate your claim but they can help you understand your rights and opportunity for recovery.
Our medical malpractice lawyers can represent claims in Missouri such as:
- Hospital & Doctor Negligence: Inadequate staffing of nurses, LPNs, and medical staff can result in the poor screening of patients coupled with unqualified staff providing care, Misreading or misinterpreting X-ray results, Medication errors from misreading prescriptions, dispensing the wrong medicine, providing the incorrect dosage or ignoring allergic reactions
- Surgical Errors: Surgical errors can happen regardless of how complex an operation is or where the surgical site is. The operating room can present many risks to patients, including sharp instruments, the potential for infection, and many other factors. It is critical that surgeons and staff exercise great care and precision before, during, and after the operation.
- Birth & Children's Surgical Injuries: Childbirth is a delicate procedure that must be handled with great care by doctors, nurses, and hospital staff. A newborn can suffer from life-changing injuries at any time - before, during, or following childbirth. Children who undergo surgical procedures can also suffer from catastrophic injuries if a surgeon is negligent or careless during the operation.
- Anesthesia Errors: Anesthesia is what physicians use to control pain during a surgery or procedure using a medicine called anesthetics. It can help control breathing, blood pressure, blood flow, and heart rate. Anesthesia can be used to relax patients, block pain, make the patient sleepy or forgetful, or make you sleep before surgery. However, the dosage needed for each patient will vary. Anesthesiology is a precise science requiring doctors to take the patient’s medical history into account. When they make an error, the results can be disastrous.
- Nursing Malpractice: Similar to malpractice cases involving doctors, nursing malpractice occurs when a nurse fails to completely perform his or her medical duties that a normally competent nurse in the same situation would—and that failure harms the patient.
