I hired Richard almost two years ago for a work comp case. I was severely injured and being harassed and lied to by work comp. I decided to hire a lawyer and I called an attorney I knew and used before. She gave me Richard’s information and I gave him a call. Richard and I talked and I decided to hire him and his team. Richard is straight to the point and took immediate action. The entire time we were dealing with my case he never made promises or ignored my calls and requests. Richard and his team were on top of things and fought for me the entire case. They also explained things and how things were going to work. Any question I had was answered right away and they never put me on the back burner. I recommend Richard and his team if you have an injury case. They are professional, take action right away and keep you informed by email as well as phone calls. I want to thank Richard and his team again I’m happy with the outcome as well as the service.

These attorneys are simply amazing! Their advertisement let me know I was being sued by a collection agency. They are knowledgeable, smart, gifted at their skills. Also will back up what they say they can do. If you need results, and a spokesman who can and will deliver then Boevingloh & Pilakos is for you. I have them in my address book! Ha

I was involved in a car accident in St. Louis and had no idea what to do. I was not at fault and the other driver claimed I was. Tyson was able to get the red light camera footage as well as other pieces of evidence for my case. Without the help of Mutrux Firm Injury Lawyers, I would've been out so much money and not taken the time to get proper medical treatment. They know more about this area and I am so glad a friend told me to call.

I cannot say enough good things about Ryan and his team. Ryan and Tanner helped me through a complex business litigation matter involving a difficult shareholder dispute over the ownership of a company. The attorneys at Keane Law are very knowledgeable and had my best interest in mind throughout the process. I have dealt with other attorneys in the past, and not had this experience. They are professional, direct and fair.

I had the pleasure of working with Jeff Abney when he represented a family member in their divorce, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his expertise and support. From the very beginning, Jeff made the entire process as painless as possible by taking the time to thoroughly explain the legal steps involved and what to expect at each stage. His communication was outstanding. He was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer advice whenever it was needed. His calm demeanor and professionalism brought much-needed clarity and reassurance during a stressful time. I also appreciate his attention to detail and the care he showed in ensuring everything was handled correctly.
He helped us navigate a truly difficult time in my family member's life and helped take some of the burden off us. If you’re looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable attorney who truly cares about his clients, I highly recommend Jeff Abney.

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.

Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is essential if you’ve been seriously injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider or institution. Situations where you should seek legal representation include:

- Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
- Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
- Birth injuries: Injuries to a newborn due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, such as failing to perform a timely C-section or improper use of delivery instruments.

- Inadequate follow-up or aftercare: Suffering due to lack of proper monitoring or care after a medical procedure, leading to complications.
- Hospital or nursing home negligence: Harm caused by the negligence of hospital staff, nurses, or administrators who failed to provide adequate care.

- Filing a lawsuit: Initiating legal action by filing a complaint against the responsible parties in the appropriate court.

- Handling expert testimony: Coordinating with medical experts who can testify on how the standard of care was breached and how it led to your injuries.

- No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.
- Case expenses: Costs for expert witnesses, medical record retrieval, and court fees may be deducted from your settlement or award in addition to the lawyer's fee.
Always discuss the fee arrangement during your initial consultation to understand your financial obligations.
