Medical Malpractice

Several of the firm’s trial attorneys have over twenty-five years of experience defending physicians, hospitals and other healthcare providers.  These attorneys have dedicated themselves to learning and understanding the intricacies of the often complex medical and scientific issues that drive each case, as well as arranging for top flight experts to effectively defend claims.  Whether the defense emphasizes compliance with the professional standard of care or the lack of causation, or both, we leave no stone unturned in developing a winning defense for our clients.  The result is and excellent record in successfully defending medical malpractice cases in the Kansas City and St. Louis Metropolitan Areas, and throughout Illinois, Kansas and Missouri.

Our attorneys have represented healthcare providers before state regulatory boards and in their relationships with local hospitals and other healthcare institutions.  Our extensive practice and experience in drug and medical device litigation provides additional insight into the key issues that are common in medical malpractice cases as well as those that are rarely encountered.  Our complete coverage throughout Illinois, Northeast Kansas and Missouri yields a strong regional presence with practical experience in all state trial and appellate courts. This combination of extensive trial experience and a multi-faceted trial practice, as well as the use of nurses and paralegals with experience and training in this field, allows us to bring to our clients a unique philosophy and quality service.
