At some point, we all put our trust in a doctor’s hands. Whether it’s during surgery, a diagnosis, or emergency care, we believe our health is the top priority. But when that trust is broken—through negligence, careless mistakes, or oversight—the consequences can be life-altering.

At Simon and Katz Law Firm, our goal is to help victims of medical malpractice in Kansas City, Missouri find clarity, accountability, and the financial support they need to move forward.

What Counts as Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider—such as a doctor, nurse, surgeon, or hospital—fails to meet the expected standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient.

Common examples include:

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
• Surgical errors
• Medication errors or incorrect dosages
• Birth injuries
• Failure to monitor or respond to complications
• Hospital-acquired infections

If you or a loved one suffered serious harm due to any of the above, you may have a valid malpractice claim.

The Impact of Medical Negligence

Medical malpractice can affect every area of a person’s life. Victims often face:

• Prolonged or worsened illness
• Unexpected surgeries or treatments
• Emotional distress and loss of trust in the healthcare system
• Financial hardship from ongoing medical bills and lost income

Attorney Paul Katz takes these impacts seriously. He works with clients to build claims that reflect not only the medical consequences—but also the personal, emotional, and financial toll.

How Simon and Katz Law Firm Can Help

Medical malpractice cases are complex. Hospitals often have teams of attorneys working to avoid liability, and proving negligence requires an in-depth investigation.

• Consults with medical experts to uncover errors
• Identifies where and how the standard of care was violated
• Builds a clear, compelling case aimed at full compensation
