Missouri/Kansas Medical Negligence Lawyers
Doctors, hospitals and their insurance carriers employ specialized lawyers to dispute medical malpractice or portray it as a normal risk of surgery or treatment. You need experienced attorneys on your side to hold them accountable for the truth.
Trial lawyers Michael Yonke and Jason Pottenger have 30 years of experience in injury litigation, including numerous verdicts and settlements for medical malpractice. They have successfully sued hospitals across the Kansas City metro area, statewide in Missouri and in eastern Kansas.

- Misdiagnosis (harmful or unnecessary treatment)

- Medication errors (overdose, wrong drug, adverse reaction)

Demonstrating Negligence
Yonke & Pottenger consults with a physician who reviews cases before we retain outside experts to testify how the doctor or hospital staff deviated from accepted standards of care.
Our familiarity with healthcare rules and regulations, and our access to qualified medical experts enables to hold physicians, surgeons, radiologists, OB/GYNs, pharmacists and hospitals responsible for the suffering of victims and their families.
We pursue full compensation for the medical bills, corrective treatment and ongoing care, as well as lost future earnings. We also work to recover every penny of non-economic damages (pain and suffering, lost enjoyment).
If medical malpractice took a loved one from you, robbed them of a chance to be cured or caused a disabling injury, call us at 866-764-3065 or contact us online. We offer a free case evaluation and take no attorney fees unless we recover damages.
