Medical Malpractice Attorney Serving the Kansas City Metropolitan Area

When you or a family member are ill, injured, or need medical assistance (such as a pregnancy), you are dependent on your doctors, nurses, therapists, hospitals, and the medical practitioners to resolve the situation. The vast majority of these healthcare providers live up to their promise. Sadly, some do not, and then you are left to live with the consequences of what they did to you or how they damaged you physically and mentally. When these individuals leave you injured you need to have a top medical malpractice lawyer working tirelessly to get you the compensation you deserve, and that is where Chionuma Law Firm, LLC can help. According to recent studies, as many as 98,000 Americans or more, die each year from preventable medical errors made by hospitals, doctors and other medical professionals (Institute of Medicine; To Err is Human; Building a Safer Health System, 2000). Far more Americans die each year from medical errors than from car accidents (43,458), breast cancer (42,297), or AIDS (16,516). The law recognizes that medical professionals can make error. However, a medical mistake becomes medical malpractice whenever the care of a patient falls below accepted community standards and causes injury or death.

Reasons to File a Case:

You not only deserve to be compensated for your pain and suffering and the loss of enjoyment of life but, most importantly, you deserve to be free from your new financial hardships. You may no longer be able to work to support yourself and your family, to pay for your mounting medical bills, or afford the extra costs of hiring help to do what you can no longer do around the house.

Payment for your or a family member’s injuries or for the unnecessary death of a loved one is often critical to you and your family’s future.

Yet, in most cases, you will face an army of lawyers, an entire department at an insurance company and the resources of a mega-corporation fighting you in order to avoid providing you the money you desperately need. In other words, their whole focus is to avoid claims or to settle with you for the least amount of money possible.

Hospitals, clinics and doctors have insurance which provides them with attorneys whose job it is to do everything possible to prevent them from having to pay for medical malpractice. If you’ve been the victim of medical malpractice, you need lawyers on your side with the knowledge and experience to beat them.
