St. Louis Medical Malpractice Attorneys

Seeking Justice and Recovery for Victims of Medical Negligence

Medical professionals are responsible for providing an acceptable standard of care. This includes diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment for underlying conditions, injuries, and more. When they fail to meet this standard of care or breach their medical duty, it is possible that patients will become dangerously sick or injured. In many cases, patients die and families are devastated by a loss they know could have been prevented.

We are a small and responsive team that invests extensive time and resources into each case we handle, offering our clients high-quality personalized legal representation during their time of need.

Complex Birth Injury Cases

Birth injury cases are one of the most difficult areas of medical malpractice. Birth injury fundamentally affects the mother, baby, and family. This also directly impacts the treatments and recovery paths necessary for physical injuries, developmental complications, and cognitive impairments in very young children. It is not enough for a birth injury lawyer to be experienced at handling standard cases of medical malpractice and wrongful death as these injuries looking specifically toward the future to decide on care and financial calculations.

Sometimes a lawsuit is required in order to obtain the full extent of money damages the law provides. At Kolker & Germeroth, L.L.C., we are proud of our effective and respectful litigation style.
