St. Louis Medical Malpractice Attorney

Fighting for victims of malpractice for more than 20 years
A special relationship exists between physicians and their patients. Physicians owe their patients a duty to provide a certain standard of care, using at least the level of skill, care and diligence that is generally exercised by fellow practitioners in the medical professions. It is considered medical malpractice when a medical professional breaches that duty through negligence or carelessness and causes injury to a patient. Medical malpractice victims may recover compensation for their injuries, including for past and future medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium and lost income.

Experienced medical malpractice attorney
Edward C. Kruse, Attorney at Law has successfully represented medical malpractice clients in St. Louis and throughout Missouri and Illinois for more than 20 years, routinely obtaining generous awards on cases involving birth injuries, orthopedic surgeries, anesthesia, emergency medicine, hospital nursing care, nursing home care, cosmetic surgeries, prescription drug errors, psychiatric care and eye surgeries.

To prevail on a medical malpractice claim, expert medical testimony is generally required to establish that the medical care or diagnosis was negligent and that this negligence caused the patient’s injuries. We regularly consult with a number of licensed medical professionals and retain prominent medical experts who are skilled and experienced at clearly explaining medical mistakes to jurors.
