St. Louis Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Missouri & Illinois Personal Injury Lawyers
You trusted your medical provider to give proper care for an illness or condition, but sadly, that wasn’t the case. So what do you do when you’ve been injured or you’ve lost a loved one due to the medical negligence or malpractice of a physician, hospital, or other healthcare professional? Turn to the legal counsel of a St Louis medical malpractice lawyer at CofmanTownsley.
The personal injury lawyers of CofmanTownsley understand the hardships and uncertainty you’re facing resulting from the negligence of your trusted medical providers. We encourage you to consider the possibility of seeking legal compensation in return. While doing so can’t undo the harm that’s been done, a successful lawsuit or settlement can provide you with a sense of justice and alleviate some of the financial burdens brought on by your injuries or loss.
Something to Consider
You can file a medical malpractice claim if you were injured, your child was injured, or a loved one has passed away as a result of a medical professional’s or facility’s negligent actions. In a medical malpractice lawsuit, you can pursue compensation for things such as medical expenses, lost income, diminished earning capacity, loss of companionship, funeral and burial costs, pain and suffering, disfigurement, disability, and in cases in which the medical professional’s actions were intentional, punitive damages.
We know you’re faced with many challenges after a medical malpractice event. However, it’s important to keep in mind the Missouri and Illinois statute of limitations, which determines the timeframe in which you can file a lawsuit after either being the victim of medical malpractice or realizing medical malpractice was the cause of an injury or death. Because this timeframe can vary based on the circumstances of your claim, you should talk to a Missouri and Illinois personal injury lawyer who can advise you of how the statute applies to you.

Three Other Things
Should you decide to make a claim against the medical facility, physician, or other medical professionals responsible for your or your loved one’s harm, your lawyer will need to prove three elements.
- That the physician, nurse, or medical facility failed to act accordingly with standard practices; this is typically accomplished through the expert testimony of another physician or medical professional.
- That the negligence of the medical professional or facility was the cause for the injury or death.
- The severity of the damages caused by the medical negligence.
However, take heart. The medical malpractice lawyers and the support staff at CofmanTownsley will do all the work by investigating your claim, interviewing witnesses or key people, and researching to find the facts. Remember, we’re here for you and your best interests, and we understand that you’re facing troubling times right now.
