Medical malpractice occurs if a patient is injured by a doctor or other healthcare provider whose negligence causes the patient to sustain injuries and damages. While the rules governing medical malpractice claims vary from state to state, there are some general principals and broad categories of rules that apply to Kansas and Missouri medical malpractice cases.
Many elderly people are in long term care facilities like nursing homes, and most families believe that their loved ones receive excellent care there. Plenty of nursing home patients receive good care and live happy, healthy lives in their care of facilities, but others are subjected to abuse and neglect.
Nursing home abuse can take many forms and is rarely reported because many victims are afraid to speak out.
You may have a personal injury claim if someone caused you to sustain injuries and damages. Personal injury cases encompass a wide variety of situations and accidents including:
•Car Crashes
•Unsafe Behavior or Conduct
•Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
•Defective Product Injuries
•Exposure to Toxic Materials
•Medical Malpractice
•Drug Injuries
If a person is killed because of the wrongful conduct of another person or company, the decedent's heirs/ beneficiaries may file a wrongful death action against those responsible for the decedent's death.
The individuals entitled to sue for wrongful death are listed in each state statute. Many statutes provide for recovery by a surviving spouse, next of kin or children. Ordinarily, children may bring suit for the wrongful death of their parents, and parents may sue for the death of a child.
