Why You Need a Medical Malpractice Lawyer

If you believe you or a loved one was harmed due to misread test results, consult with a medical malpractice attorney right away to discuss your legal options. Navigating a medical malpractice case alone can be complex and challenging. Hospitals and health care professionals typically have a strong legal defense team. Proving negligence requires a thorough understanding of medical standards and legal procedures. An experienced Kansas City medical malpractice lawyer helps build a strong case by: 

Investigation

A skilled attorney conducts a comprehensive investigation of your case by gathering evidence, reviewing medical records, consulting with experts, and identifying the crucial details needed to establish liability for the misread test results.

Handling All Legal Processes

Medical malpractice cases involve complex legal procedures and strict deadlines. A lawyer ensures all necessary paperwork is filed correctly and on time. In Kansas City, the statute of limitations for a medical malpractice lawsuit is two years from the date of the injury or when the injury should have been reasonably discovered. There are certain exceptions to this rule.

Negotiating With An Insurance Company

Insurance companies may undervalue your claim and pressure you to settle for less than it’s worth. An experienced lawyer negotiates with insurance companies to secure a fair settlement.

Representing You In Court

If an insurance company doesn't settle your medical malpractice claim, a savvy trial attorney takes your case to court to fight for the compensation you deserve.
