cosmetic surgery malpractice.
Hold Doctors Accountable
If a health care provider does not exercise the same level of care as a reasonably prudent and careful health care provider would use under similar circumstances, causing you harm, you may have a legal claim. There are limits to the time available to take such recourse, known as the statute of limitations. It is 2 years in both Kansas and Missouri – but if the malpractice results in death, the time limit to file suit in Missouri is 3 years.
