A Team of Legal Experts
When you hire DM Injury Law, you get more than one lawyer. You get a whole team dedicated to your case. Our attorneys and support staff have the resources to take on the biggest hospitals.
Your team includes:
- Medical Record Specialists: People who read your medical charts to find proof that the doctor made a mistake.
- Private Investigators: Experts who dig into the doctor's history and the hospital's safety records.
- Dedicated Case Managers: Friendly staff who answer your questions, update you on your case, and help you through the stress.
Types of Medical Malpractice Claims We Represent
Medical mistakes happen more often than hospitals want to admit. In fact, a Johns Hopkins study found that medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States.
Not every bad outcome of medical treatment is malpractice. Some treatments do not work, even when the doctor does everything right. But when a medical professional breaks the basic rules of safe care, and you get hurt, they must be held accountable.
Our medical malpractice attorneys handle all types of serious injuries. The most common cases we take include:
- Surgical Errors: Operating on the wrong body part, leaving tools inside a patient, or other mistakes in the operating room.
- Birth Injuries: Harm to a newborn baby or mother during pregnancy or delivery.
- Prescription Mistakes: Doctors or pharmacies giving the wrong drug or the wrong dose.
- Bedsores: Painful wounds that happen when nursing home staff fail to care for a patient.
- Wrongful Death: When a preventable medical mistake causes the loss of a loved one.
Common Causes and Injuries of Med Mal Accidents
Medical mistakes can happen at any point of treatment. They happen in operating rooms, emergency rooms, doctors' offices, and nursing homes. Some of the most common causes include:
- Failure to diagnose or misdiagnosis by a doctor
- Surgical errors, such as operating on the wrong body part or leaving a tool inside the body
- Prescribing the wrong medication or an incorrect dosage
- Negligent patient monitoring
- Infections caused by unsanitary tools or rooms
- Poor communication among medical staff
- Birth injuries due to medical negligence
- Anesthesia errors during procedures
These mistakes can leave you with life-changing injuries, such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Paralysis
- Severe infections
- Nerve damage and permanent pain
These are serious injuries that require more medical treatment and hospital visits. You deserve help, and we are ready to give it. Our malpractice lawyers at DM Injury Law can help you get the medical treatment you need after a doctor broke your trust. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation.

How a Med Mal Lawyer Can Help You
Medical malpractice cases are complex and confusing. While you focus on healing, our experts will handle every detail of your claim. Here is how our team helps you:
- We investigate. We gather your medical records, talk to experts, and find proof that the doctor made a mistake.
- We handle the insurance company. You will not have to argue with them. We do the talking for you.
- We build your case. We prepare every case as if it is going to trial. Hospitals often choose to settle rather than face us in court.
- We fight for the most money possible. We know what your case is worth, and we do not settle for less.
Compensation Available to Victims
A medical mistake can turn your whole life upside down. You may face more pain, more hospital visits, and bills you cannot pay. Our lawyers will fight to make the hospital pay for everything they took from you. We'll work hard so that your settlement reflects everything you deserve.
You may be able to recover money for:
- Past and Future Medical Bills: This covers the extra surgeries, hospital stays, medicine, physical therapy, and any future care you will need because of the mistake. Medical care for a serious injury can cost a lot, and the hospital that hurt you should pay for it.
- Lost Wages: If you missed work because of your injury, you deserve to be paid for those lost paychecks. If you can never work again, we will fight for your future lost income too, so your family stays secure.
- Pain and Suffering: Your physical pain, your stress, your worry, and your sadness all have value. We fight to make sure you are paid for everything you have been through.
- Loss of Quality of Life: If your injury keeps you from doing the things you love, or from caring for yourself the way you used to, you can be paid for that loss.
- Wrongful Death: If you lost a loved one, you may recover money for funeral and burial costs. You can also recover compensation for the future financial support your loved one provided to your family.
A Note About Pain and Suffering "Caps"
Some states limit, or "cap," how much money you can get for pain and suffering. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, the rules differ from state to state.

Medical Malpractice FAQs
How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case?
Not every bad result is malpractice. You have a case when a doctor breaks the basic rules of safe medical care, and you get hurt because of it. If you went in for one thing and came out with a serious new injury, you should call us. We will review your story for free and tell you if you have a case.
How much does it cost to hire you?
It costs nothing out of pocket. We offer free consultations, and we work on a contingency fee basis. We pay for the medical experts, your records, and everything needed to build your case. If we win, our fee comes out of your settlement. If we do not win, you pay nothing.
Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle out of court. But we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. Hospitals often choose to settle rather than face our team in the courtroom.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Each state has a deadline, called a statute of limitations.
- Missouri: 2 years from the malpractice, with a 10-year overall limit.
- Kansas: 2 years from when you discovered the injury, with a 4-year overall limit.
- Illinois: 2 years from discovering the malpractice, with a 4-year overall limit.
- Nebraska: Usually 2 years from the malpractice, or 1 year from discovery if it was not immediately found; maximum 10 years.
- Oklahoma: 2 years from discovering the malpractice.
- Colorado: 2 years from discovering the malpractice, with a 3-year overall limit.
Who can be held responsible?
The doctor is often the main party at fault. But others may share the blame too, such as nurses, the hospital, the pharmacy, or even the makers of faulty equipment. Our team will find everyone responsible for your injury.
