Hundreds of thousands of people suffer sudden cardiac arrest every year in North Kansas City, MO and across the country. In some cases, those who experience cardiac arrest are already in the hospital, which gives them almost immediate access to emergency medical attention. However, many others — over 350 thousand every year — do not have timely access to medical care. In the event that you or a family member suffer sudden cardiac arrest and are not in a hospital, it will be essential that the location you are in has an AED that is easily accessible and has been kept properly maintained.
AEDs, when used in the critical moments after a heart-related emergency and by someone who has been trained on how to respond, can be the difference between life and death in treating heart-related emergencies like cardiac arrest. The fact is that the AED is a life-saving device. It is critical that any gathering place or venue where large numbers of people visit have AEDs on-site in a place they can easily be found. Without them, property owners and managers can be held responsible for visitors’ losses and injuries or even death which could have been prevented or mitigated with the timely use of an AED.
There may have been an AED on the premises, but for some reason they were not used or able to work. If a business owner or manager failed to mount the device in an easy and accessible place, did not inform their employees on where to find it or how to use it or neglected to adequately maintain the device, you can sue them for damages in Missouri civil court.
These cases are complicated, and you need an AED liability lawyer you trust and can depend on to use their legal expertise and negotiation skills to secure for you a full recovery.

It is common knowledge that heart-related conditions and diseases are both common and very serious. Conversely, dangerously few people in North Kansas City and throughout Missouri have been trained in how to react in the crucial moments immediately after cardiac arrest, not to mention the laws and practices surrounding AED use.
Below, our attorneys have compiled statistics published by the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation and the CDC.
Missouri law lays forth the rules of an AED program under § 190.092, known as the Public Access to Automated External Defibrillator Act. Pursuant to this statute, a person or business must meet the following requirements:
Like most U.S. states, Missouri has in effect a “Good Samaritan” policy. Under § 190.092, people are protected from liability when helping someone in a medical emergency. If an individual acts in good faith to administer an AED during an emergency, they cannot be held liable in AED lawsuits if any civil damages are incurred as a result of that emergency care.
Missouri’s 2013 Good Samaritan statute is meant to encourage the possession and use of AEDs when doing so could save lives. The law protects those who intervene in medical emergencies from the threat of civil prosecution. Rescuers, purchasers, property owners, physicians and trainers who act in good faith cannot be held liable in an AED lawsuit for any resulting damages after using an AED.
If you experienced cardiac arrest while in public and did not have access to an AED, you may have a Missouri AED lawsuit for your injuries and other damages. If a family member or someone you love was similarly injured or lost their life due to the absence of an AED, you may be able to recover damages for their wrongful death or personal injury in an AED liability claim or lawsuit.
Though the state of Missouri has made some positive changes with respect to civil laws and policies on AED liability and making AEDs accessible and available, it is still not the case that all businesses or public places are legally mandated to carry an AED. What businesses are required to do, though, is protect visitors from known dangers.
AED lawsuits are known to be very fact-specific claims. If you or your family member were injured or your loved one lost their life in a sudden cardiac arrest event, you may have a claim to an AED lawsuit.

Premises owners have legal obligations to protect against foreseeable risks of harm, and the number of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests each year may make it a foreseeable risk. In certain locations and settings, the increased risk and rate of cardiac arrest make it even more critical that those locations keep and maintain AEDs, such as places where people participate in athletic activities, where older adults tend to gather or large and isolated premises that emergency medical responders cannot immediately or easily access.
In addition, federal law requires that AEDs are kept and properly maintained in federal buildings and Missouri law requires that all emergency vehicles have a working AED. If you or someone you love were injured or killed because an AED was not available or working correctly, you may be able to recover damages by making an AED lawsuit with a savvy AED injury lawyer in North Kansas City, MO.
Call Burger Law at (314) 500-HURT if you or a family member experienced sudden cardiac arrest without a working AED or were harmed by an improperly used or maintained AED in one of the following settings:
The seconds and minutes immediately after a sudden cardiac event are crucial to the patient’s survival. Even if a bystander calls 911 right away, it is often several minutes—an estimated average of four to ten minutes according to the National Institutes of Health—before paramedics are able to arrive on the scene and begin treatment. These are precious minutes when serious and irreversible damage can take place if the proper preventative intervention is not administered in time. The automated external defibrillator, or AED, is a trusted tool in the treatment of cardiovascular arrest.
Injuries associated with lack of access to an AED include:
Individuals who experience cardiac arrest are twice as likely to survive when an AED is available on site for use before emergency responders arrive. Without access to an AED, those who suffer a sudden cardiac arrest are very likely to die or sustain serious permanent damage. Failure to keep an AED on the premises is a gross disservice to patrons and visitors of any public venue in North Kansas City or in Missouri and those properties that fail to carry AEDs or neglect to ensure their proper use and accessibility must be held liable. Our AED liability lawyers will take on your family’s case and get you the recovery you deserve. Speak to an AED liability lawyer today at (314) 500-HURT.

Client Reviews
This law firm is absolutely amazing. They took on my case, when nobody else would! They fought hard for me when it seemed there was no hope. They kept me informed and always asked for my input before making decisions on my case. Gary puts himself into every case unlike most law firm owners. Gary and his team really care about every one of their clients, and fights hard to get you a fair settlement. They actually won my case out of court, and then reduced my fees to make sure I could get my car fixed and be able to get back to some normality. I would recommend Burger Law over and above any other firm! If you go somewhere else you aren’t getting the best!
