Medical professionals are required to act with a certain standard of care. Failing at this standard can result in surgical errors, failed diagnosis and various other harms. When medical malpractice occurs, it takes a qualified lawyer to successfully pursue a claim.
Boat accidents result from carelessness, recklessness and failure to pay attention. Operating a boat under the influence of drugs or alcohol can also result in injury. Our attorneys understand how boating accidents occur and how to pursue a successful legal claim against negligent operators when they do.
A property owner may be responsible if a guest or customer is injured due to their negligence. Slip-and-falls and dog bites are common causes of injuries in premises liability cases. We understand how these cases are handled in Missouri.

Workplace accidents happen frequently and often it is an employer’s negligence or an employer’s omission that is part of the cause. We can help you collect when things happen that aren’t your fault.
A catastrophic injury is an injury resulting in a dramatic change in a person’s quality of life. For example, if someone is thrown off a boat in a boat accident and suffers brain damage from the lack of oxygen they suffered underwater, they may require lifelong care to do even the simplest of tasks. Victims of car accidents who suffer spinal injuries may become paraplegic or quadriplegic. Spinal cord injuries like these often require expensive equipment and regular physical therapy. Minor injuries like broken bones, burns, or other short-term injuries are not considered catastrophic as they can heal and the victim can return to their normal lifestyle. If you’re not sure where your loved one’s injury falls, call Harper, Evans, Wade & Netemeyer to consult with one of our attorneys.
Workers compensation cases are sensitive with a short window of time to file. In Missouri, a worker's injury case must be filed within two years and reported to the department of labor.

If our catastrophic injury attorneys discover the actions of someone at your husband’s jobsite directly resulted in his injury, you may be able to file a personal injury case against that person.
