Most injury cases require the injured party (the "plaintiff")to prove that the opposing party (the "defendant") acted negligently. In order to recover under a negligence claim, the injured party must prove that: (1) the defendant owed a legal duty to that party(2) the legal duty was breached by the defendant; and (3) the defendant's actions caused the injury. Generally, every citizen has the duty to act as a reasonably prudent person under similar circumstances. Defendants breach this duty if they fail to act with reasonable care. If the injury would not have occurred but for the defendant's breach, and there is no intervening event that breaks the chain of causation, the defendant will be found negligent. If a court determines that a defendant was negligent, the defendant may be liable for the plaintiff's injuries.Bringing an Injury Claim If the negligent, reckless or intentional acts of another causes an injury, injured parties or their loved ones should obtain legal representation as soon as possible to preserve evidence. Even if it appears that no one is at fault for the injury, or that injuries are minor, it may be beneficial to seek legal advice before the statute of limitations runs out and precludes further legal action. An injured victim may be able to recover through a formal civil court proceeding, or through informal settlement negotiations. If a victim chooses to pursue a civil court action, they generally must file the lawsuit in the county where the injury occurred.

TYPES OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
•Failure to diagnose, mis-diagnosis or delayed diagnosis;
•Improper or inappropriate medial treatment or management of your medical condition;
•Negligence in performing surgery;
•Medication errors by a doctor;
•Negligently filled prescriptions by a pharmacy;
•Failure to obtain the patients informed consent;
•Abandonment of the patient.
In order to successfully pursue a Missouri Medical Malpractice or Medical Negligence Claim, the patient must prove that a healthcare provider failed to provide medical care within the standard of care for his/her particular field. The departure from competent and accepted care by the doctor, hospital or nurse must have caused the injury suffered by the patient. Medical Malpractice Cases are time consuming and very costly to prosecute therefore, the injury sustained by the patient must be severe and permanent in order to proceed. Due to the recent Legislation passed in Missouri known as Tort Reform it has become more difficult for people to file a Medical Malpractice Law Suit for negligent or improper medical care. This should not discourage you from pursuing a claim but means that the case needs to be carefully reviewed and considered by an experienced medical malpractice attorney.

What is a Personal Injury Claim?
Personal injury suits may arise from automobile accident, truck
accidents, airplane or boating accidents, medical malpractice,
animal or dog bites, defective or dangerous products, "slip and
fall" accidents, or intentional assault. A number of personal injury
claims also arise from injuries sustained in the workplace, including
complications from industrial diseases (asbestosis, asthma, etc.),
repetitive strain injury and occupational stress, these are workers
compensation claims.
If the negligent, reckless or intentional acts of another causes an
injury, injured parties or their loved ones should obtain legal
representation as soon as possible to preserve evidence. Even if
it appears that no one is at fault for the injury, or that injuries are minor, it may be beneficial to seek legal advice before the statute of limitations runs out and precludes further legal action.

If you have been injured at work, State Workers Compensation Laws provide compensation for medical treatment, lost wages and any permanent injuries. As long as the injury occurs on-the-job and within the scope of your employment, your medical treatment will be paid for and you will be compensated for your injury even if you may have been at fault. Workers Compensation Law is different from Personal Injury Law in that the worker does not have to prove negligence on the part of the Employer, you only need to prove that the injury occurred on the job and while doing activities within the scope of your employment with your Employer.
The Employer usually has the right to select the doctor or medical providers but the employer does have to pay for the medical treatment. If you feel that the Employers doctor or medical providers are not giving you proper medical treatment, you can select your own doctor or medical provider but in that situation you will need an experienced Workers Compensation Lawyer to make sure that the employer pays for this medical treatment.
Frequently, the Employers Workers Compensation Carrier will try to select a doctor or medical provider that will look out for the insurance carriers best interests, not yours. The Employer provided doctor or medical provider will often try to give you as little treatment as possible and state that you are ready to return to work and in no further need of medial treatment to save the Workers Compensation Insurance carrier money. In this situation, your Workers Compensation Attorney will need to recognize this situation and send you to a different experienced doctor in the specialty in which you need to truly determine whether you are receiving the appropriate treatment or whether you are in need of further medical care. That is the only way to force the Workers Compensation Insurance carrier to come to the table and give you the medical treatment that you need to obtain a full recovery from your injuries.
Our Law Firm has worked with numerous doctors in many different fields and specialties who will work with us on your case to determine whether you are getting the appropriate medical treatment you need and to make sure that you get such treatment.
Workers Compensation Law is a specialty area of law that an attorney must be very familiar with in order to maximize the compensation the Employee is entitled to receive. The Compensation available to an injured worker is also different in the area of Workers Compensation Law than for individuals who suffer injuries in auto accident or other non-work related scenarios. In order to protect your rights and preserve your claims to Compensation you should contact an experienced Workers Compensation Attorney as early as possible after you sustain a work related injury. You can call Edward Kruse at 314-333-4144 and obtain a FREE consultation with no obligation. Please note that Workers Compensation Claims are always handled by our office on a Contingent Fee basis wherein you will not have to pay us anything unless we collect for you. If you do decide to hire an Attorney and you contact Edward Kruse for legal representation we are confident that you will appreciate our hard work, our experience in the Workers Compensation Law field and our dedication to looking out for your best interests to maximize the benefits of your medical treatment and the recovery of Compensation for your injuries.
