Medical Malpractice

The attorneys at Ponder Zimmermann LLC represent victims who have suffered injury or death because of the negligent or careless treatment by a doctor, nurse, hospital, chiropractor, nursing home, anesthesiologist, pharmacist, therapist, dentist, or other licensed medical or health care provider. Doctors and other health care providers who fail to follow the accepted professional standard of care for their profession can be liable for medical malpractice if their actions result in injury to the patient. However, it is important to remember that unfavorable results following medical treatment or surgeries are not always the result of medical negligence.

Examples of medical malpractice claims for which we represent victims include failure to perform a medical procedure in a competent manner, failure to order necessary tests or failure to properly evaluate test results, misdiagnosis, failure to provide necessary treatment, injuries caused by the administration of anesthesia or other drugs, inadequate emergency room treatment, failure to properly monitor a pregnant mother or injuries suffered to the mother or infant during birth, and nursing home neglect or abuse.

At Ponder Zimmermann LLC, you can be assured that an attorney will give your case personal attention with the expertise necessary to handle the unique aspects of your case. We will protect your legal rights and pursue your claim aggressively to achieve a successful result for you and your family. We are prepared to see your case through the trial process, as well as any necessary appeals.

If you believe you have been injured as a result of the negligence of a health care provider, we encourage you to contact us for a free consultation. We do not take any fees until we have obtained a favorable result for you.

Please be advised that Missouri, as well as all other states, places a time limit on filing cases for medical negligence, so please do not hesitate to call us if you believe that you have a claim for medical negligence.
