MISSOURI WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM SETTLES FOR $500,000 / RECLAMO DE MUERTE INJUSTA DE MISSOURI SE CONFORMA POR $500,000

Keith Short and Associates settled a Missouri Medical Negligence-Wrongful Death claim for $500,000.00 last month.  The current cap (the most a plaintiff could win for non-economic damages) in Missouri is $700,000.  There were very complicating issues of proof in the case and several other law firms chose not to get involved.  We understood the value of a well thought-out and aggressively executed cross-examination of the 2 defendants.  The depositions went so well that the defense lawyers called us a week later and asked that we mediate the case.  At the end of the day, the parties recognized their respective strengths and weaknesses and an agreement was reached.  The family members were thrilled. 

Not all cases get the same result, but all clients get the same effort from us.  If you need an experienced, aggressive lawyer then call Keith Short and Associates, Trial Lawyers at 618-254-0055.
