The short answer

The list starts with Monge & Associates. Although its experience dates to 1993 and clients praise its communication, the firm's published result concerns a delivery-driver injury rather than malpractice. Before calling, ask whether the firm has handled your medical issue, then find out who would manage your file. Because the deadline can depend on when the injury became reasonably ascertainable, read the Kansas filing rules early.

Your deadline: 2 years from the treatmentRead the Kansas law guide

Each step in more detail

Discuss the injury and dates
When describing what happened, say when you learned of the injury. Although Kansas generally gives you 2 years to file, there's a 4-year outer limit after the act. Rather than calculating the deadline alone, have a Kansas lawyer check your dates.
Review the medical records
When assessing your claim, how would the lawyer use your chart and any medical opinions? If you have records, bring them, including delivery notes when relevant. If you're still seeking records, explain which ones.
Decide whether to proceed
Before accepting the firm's offer to represent you, review its fee agreement, including who would pay case costs. Although Kansas doesn't require an affidavit of merit, an optional medical malpractice screening panel may be requested by either party under Kan. Stat. Ann. § 65-4901.
File within the applicable deadline
Before the deadline that applies to your claim, you must file the complaint. Although Kansas lets a minor sue within 1 year after turning 18, the limit is never more than 8 years after the act. For your child, what does that mean?
Consider settlement or trial
If the case reaches trial, how would your lawyer prepare, and how would they explain any settlement offer you receive along the way? In Kansas, personal injury damages aren't capped. For wrongful death non-economic damages, such as loss of companionship, a separate cap limits them to $250,000.

What a malpractice lawyer costs in Wichita

The first callOften free. Ask before you book.
A written agreementThe share the lawyer takes, set out before work starts.
If you recover moneyThe agreed share and the case costs come out of it.
If the claim failsNo legal fee on a contingency agreement. Ask about costs.

According to every listed firm, payment is on contingency. If the claim fails, there's no lawyer fee; otherwise, the lawyer receives a share of the recovery. Besides records and medical opinions, case costs include court fees, and those expenses are separate. From the firms' stated fee information, you can't tell who usually pays those costs up front or owes them without a recovery. Before signing, ask about costs. When you get the lawyer's share in writing, include how costs come out of a recovery and whether you'd owe expenses after an unsuccessful claim. According to Six listed firms, a free consultation is also available.

According to all seven listed firms, payment is on contingency. A free consultation is also offered by Six.

Questions to ask a lawyer

1For this diagnosis or treatment, have you handled a claim?
2Who would be the lawyer responsible for my file?
3When reviewing my records, what would you assess?
4Given my situation, when's the deadline to file?
5If I need updates or the lawyer, how would I reach them?
6If there's a recovery, what percentage would you charge?
7If there's no recovery, who would pay the case costs?
8If I receive a settlement offer, how would you explain whether to accept?

Choosing a malpractice lawyer in Wichita

Instead of the firm's largest advertised recovery, start with your medical problem. Although Brennan Gott Law publishes medical malpractice verdicts, the recovery listed by Monge & Associates involved an injury caused by a delivery driver. Each result answers a different question. If an attorney would handle your file, ask about their work on claims involving the diagnosis or treatment issue you're facing.

Ask about the lawyer, not only the firm

Although a practice-area page gives you a starting point, it doesn't tell you who will actually read your medical chart. Before proceeding, find out who'll read it and how to reach them. If the injury happened during birth, discuss delivery notes and medical opinions. If a diagnosis was missed, explain what symptoms were reported, then say when you finally received the diagnosis.

Before relying on results, ask whether they're published and which comparable medical claims your proposed lawyer has handled.
If your usual contact isn't available, who can you reach, and who will normally send you updates?
When discussing a settlement offer, ask how the firm would assess it and explain its recommendation to accept or reject.

Get the payment terms in writing

Because every listed firm says it works on contingency, the lawyer takes a share of a recovery but gets no lawyer fee if the claim fails. If a consultation is free, you won't pay for that conversation. Even then, the firm hasn't promised to accept your claim. Besides asking about court fees, ask separately about charges for records and medical opinions. If there's no recovery, would you owe those costs, and who pays them up front?

If someone promises you'll win, that's a warning sign. If they pressure you to sign before clearly explaining fees, that's another. Because Morgan & Morgan's feedback includes communication complaints and Accident Recovery Team's includes concerns about settlement advice, use those reviews to decide what to ask. Don't hesitate to raise those subjects. You don't need an affidavit of merit in Kansas. Because either party may request an optional medical malpractice screening panel, ask how a panel could affect your claim. This isn't legal advice, just general information.

Questions people ask

How long do I have to file a malpractice claim in Wichita?

To file in Kansas, you generally have 2 years. Unless the injury wasn't reasonably ascertainable until later, the clock starts when the act occurred. If it wasn't reasonably ascertainable then, the clock starts when it became so. Even then, the outer limit is 4 years after the act. Given your treatment dates and circumstances, ask a Kansas lawyer how the statutory deadline applies to you.

Can I speak with a Wichita malpractice lawyer for free?

Six of the seven listed firms say they offer a free consultation. Brennan Gott Law's consultation terms aren't stated, so check before you book. The free conversation doesn't mean the firm has agreed to accept your claim. Ask about experience with medical cases like yours and the filing deadline, then have the firm explain its fees.

Will I owe money if my malpractice claim fails?

Because all seven listed firms say they work on contingency, the lawyer takes a share of a recovery but gets no lawyer fee if the claim fails. Expenses aren't included. If there's no recovery, would you owe costs for records or medical opinions, or court fees, and who pays those expenses in the first place? Get that answer from the firm in writing.

What does a lawyer need to assess my medical injury?

When you start, give your treatment dates and clearly explain what went wrong. If you have a chart or other records, bring them. After explaining when you learned of the injury, ask which medical opinions the lawyer would need to assess your claim. Although Kansas doesn't require an affidavit of merit, that rule doesn't address all the support your particular case might need.

Does Kansas require a medical malpractice screening panel?

No, you aren't required to use one. Although either party may request one under Kan. Stat. Ann. § 65-4901, Kansas also doesn't require an affidavit of merit. If someone might request a panel in your case, ask your lawyer what you'd need to know about it. Whatever happens with a panel, check which filing deadline applies to your claim.

What deadline applies to a child's birth-injury claim?

Although Kansas lets a minor sue within 1 year after turning 18, the limit is never more than 8 years after the act. Waiting until adulthood isn't always possible for your child. While Morgan & Morgan publishes a birth-injury verdict, cerebral palsy birth injury appears among Bull Attorneys' listed practice areas. Given your child's circumstances, ask a Kansas lawyer to explain which deadline applies.

What if my loved one died after medical treatment?

On several listed firms' sites, wrongful death is discussed. Although Kansas doesn't cap personal injury damages, its cap on wrongful death non-economic damages limits them to $250,000. Given your family's situation, a Kansas lawyer can explain which claims may apply, then walk you through their deadlines.

How long will a malpractice claim take?

For these firms or your claim, an estimate of case length hasn't been established. Although filing has a deadline, that doesn't show how long resolution will take. After the lawyer reviews your chart, what happens next, and how will you hear about delays? If either party requests an optional Kansas screening panel, find out what effect it could have on the process.

Which listed firms publish medical malpractice results?

For a birth-injury case in 2007, Morgan & Morgan publishes a $37.8 million jury award. Although Monge & Associates lists a $40 million recovery, it concerned a delivery-driver injury rather than medical malpractice. When asking about comparable cases, refer to published results. From those results, you can't predict your claim's recovery.
