Springfield, Missouri, Medical Malpractice Lawyer
At the Curran Law Firm, we recognize the tremendous skill and dedication of the vast majority of doctors and other healthcare professionals. But we also strongly believe that when a good medical professional makes a mistake that hurts someone else, the injured person is entitled to just compensation for those injuries. Many people don't realize that medical malpractice is just a specialized type of "accident" case. The victim doesn't have to prove that the doctor did it "on purpose" or that the doctor intended to hurt the person. The victim simply has to prove that the doctor made a mistake or, in legal terms, failed to adhere to the appropriate standard of care.
Because of some changes in Missouri law passed in 2005 that dramatically hurt a member of the general public who had been injured by a healthcare provider's carelessness, many attorneys have stopped representing victims of medical malpractice. Robert Curran continues to fight for these victims' rights.
If you or a family member is suffering because of a failed medical procedure or inadequate treatment in southwest Missouri, we encourage you to contact us for a free consultation with experienced attorney Robert D. Curran.
Taking Quick Action is Important after a Medical Mistake
As in other types of personal injury and wrongful death cases, it can be important to act quickly if you believe you are a victim of medical malpractice or negligence. There are strict statutes of limitations for some types of claims. In addition, our ability to prove negligence and show the full impact of a medical mistake may depend on how soon we are able to investigate and recover evidence.
