Biography

Founding Partner Bradley J. Prochaska is a top attorney recognized by Best Lawyers in the practice area of Medical Malpractice Law - Plaintiffs.

Bradley is a personal injury and medical malpractice attorney at Prochaska Law Firm. Founded in Wichita, Kansas, in 1988, Prochaska Law now serves clients in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Illinois and Colorado.

Early on, Bradley developed a reputation for winning the tough cases other attorneys turned down, especially medical malpractice cases. Today, his clients are typically the victims of catastrophic injuries. He has settled six medical malpractice cases in Kansas for more than $4 million each, a track record no other Kansas medical malpractice attorney has achieved.

Bradley treats every client with friendship and respect, and they put their trust and faith into his talents. His goal is to obtain maximum justice and full compensation for each one of his clients. His mother-in-law died from medical malpractice, so he knows first-hand how devastating it can be on the lives of victims and their families. He litigates only a few large cases a year in order to devote the time necessary to obtain the best results for each client.

Bradley is the former president of the Kansas Association for Justice and a longstanding member of the Leaders Forum of the American Association for Justice. He was also the national co-chairman of the Birth Trauma Litigation Group and is currently the national co-chairman of the Professional Negligence Group.

Bradley has been recognized since 2009. This recognition is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey, reflecting the high esteem in which Bradley is held by other top lawyers in the same geographic and legal practice area.
