Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in Missouri?
In Missouri, you generally have two years from the date of injury or from the date you discovered the injury to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. There is also a ten-year statute of repose, meaning no claim can be filed more than ten years after the negligent act occurred.
Do I need an expert affidavit to file a medical malpractice case in Missouri?
Yes, Missouri law requires that your attorney file an affidavit from a qualified healthcare expert stating that the defendant deviated from the accepted standard of care and that this deviation caused your injury. This affidavit must be filed within 90 days of filing the lawsuit.
What damages can I recover in a Joplin medical malpractice case?
