After an accident, medical mistake, or defective product disrupts your life, you need a legal team that treats your case with the seriousness it deserves. If you were injured in a car accident, suffered from a dangerous drug, or experienced a medical error, the legal process may be the key to recovery–and can feel overwhelming without the right guidance.
At the Hollis Law Firm, we handle personal injury cases throughout Kansas and Missouri, as well as nationwide cases involving defective medical devices and harmful prescription drugs. It takes more than just an understanding of the law to handle prescription drug and medical device cases. In order to be a leader in the area of pharmaceutical law, a law firm must also understand the science. The Hollis Law Firm takes pride in knowing not only the legal aspects of each case, but the science behind it.
The Hollis Law Firm stays up-to-date on the latest scientific literature relating to each case type and other potentially harmful drugs and devices currently on the market. We bring that same dedication to every personal injury claim we take on.
We are ready to listen to you. Our philosophy is that we are your guides. After we take the time to understand your needs, we will provide you with the education you need to make the decisions. You will make the decisions and we will listen. We will take action based on the choices you make. We are here to represent you.
The Hollis Law Firm handles a wide range of cases for injured clients in Kansas and Missouri. Our practice covers three primary areas: personal injury, medical malpractice, and defective drugs and devices.
Personal injury cases include some of the most common and serious accidents people face every day. If you were hurt because of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
We handle cases involving:
No matter what type of accident brought you here, contact us today for a free case review. Let us help you get answers and pursue the compensation you deserve.
We understand the legal system can be confusing. Our goal is to make the process as easy for you as we can and answer any questions that may arise throughout the litigation. All of our work is done on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for winning cases. We believe this is an ideal situation for both parties as you will not have any out-of-pocket costs.
We will not accept your case unless there is a realistic opportunity for recovery. Since we do not get paid if we do not win your case, there is no incentive for our firm to waste your time or ours. It is important to note that on average, dangerous drug and device claims can take around three to five years to reach fruition.
Personal injury cases, such as those involving car accidents or medical malpractice, may resolve on a different timeline, but the same commitment applies. We will not take your case unless we believe there is a realistic path to recovery, and we will keep you informed every step of the way.
Doctors and medical professionals are held to a high standard of care. When that standard is not met, and a patient is harmed as a result, it may form the basis of a medical malpractice claim. These cases can involve surgical errors, misdiagnoses, medication mistakes, or failures to treat a condition in time.
Medical malpractice cases require a thorough review of medical records, expert analysis, and a strong command of both legal and medical standards. Our lawyer takes the time to build each case carefully so that the full picture of what happened and how it affected your life can be presented.
Because court decisions have restricted the use of class actions in the drug and medical device area, your case most likely will not be part of a class action lawsuit. Your claim may be pursued alongside many similar claims as part of a mass tort, but the facts of your case and your specific injuries will be evaluated on an individual basis. Because dangerous drug and defective product lawsuits often involve a large number of cases with common issues, your case may likely be transferred to a single court district as part of a multidistrict litigation (MDL).
An MDL works well for cases in which one or more common issues are seen. For example, while one hundred people may have taken a certain drug and suffered injuries, the details of their timelines and injuries may vary.
The federal court system utilizes multidistrict litigations (MDL) to better manage cases involving issues affecting a large number of people, including dangerous drugs and defective products. These civil cases are consolidated into one district court, which handles the discovery and pretrial proceedings for each case involved.
Congress’s goal for creating the MDL system was to offer efficiency through better coordination of complex litigations filed in various districts throughout the country. By consolidating cases with common issues into one district, those involved save time and money in the overall process. Because the facts of each case vary, there is no definitive determination as to how each litigation will progress. While we will work towards the best outcome possible for your case, there is no guarantee of future results.
Our intake specialists are happy to take your call and discuss your experience with a dangerous drug or device. The same goes for personal injury and medical malpractice cases. We offer free case evaluations over the phone, or you may also fill out our online form, and we will reach out to you as soon as possible.
Victims calling in to report how they were injured by a prescription drug or medical device is how we learn what to investigate next. Similarly, hearing from people hurt in accidents or harmed by medical negligence helps us understand where people are being failed. If you have suffered injuries related to a harmful drug or medical device, accident, or medical error, we encourage you to contact the Hollis Law Firm so we can accurately review your potential claim.
During your initial call, one of our intake specialists will gather basic information regarding your potential case. This may include details regarding the timeline of your use of the drug or device, the accident, or the medical treatment you received, your diagnosis, and any injuries or complications resulting from the product or incident. This call will take approximately 15-20 minutes and does not automatically create an attorney-client relationship.
We rely on you! Victims calling in from around the nation to report how they were injured by a prescription drug or medical device is how to learn what to investigate next. The pharmaceutical and medical device companies are not testing their drugs and devices before selling them to millions of people nationwide. The victims of these dangerous drugs and devices are typically the first to become aware of the side effects. Make your injury known; the pharmaceutical and medical device companies aren’t going to do it for you. Hollis Law Firm is at times able to detect patterns of certain products causing specific injuries before any scientific studies are published. This is because scientific studies can take years to properly design, conduct, peer-review, and publish.
The same is true for personal injury victims. When someone is seriously hurt in a crash, a construction accident, or another preventable incident, that experience matters. By sharing what happened, you help us identify patterns, hold negligent parties accountable, and build stronger cases for everyone we serve.
If you were hurt in an accident, harmed by a medical error, or injured by a dangerous drug or defective device, the Hollis Law Firm is ready to hear your story. We handle personal injury, medical malpractice, and defective drug and device cases for clients in Kansas and Missouri, and we take every case on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover for you.
Our lawyer will take the time to listen, evaluate your situation honestly, and give you the information you need to make the right decision for your family. To get started, fill out our contact form, and we will follow up as soon as possible.
