About Robert

Robert “Bob” Buckley is a devoted medical malpractice and catastrophic injury attorney. For more than 40 years, he has practiced law in the Independence area. Bob strongly believes medical negligence litigation has a positive impact on improving health care in America and spends an extensive amount of time educating himself on medical issues to better serve his clients. The practice of law is about helping people. We are driven each day to represent our clients in the best manner possible which means combining the experience we’ve gained in the courtroom with our knowledge of emerging issues in the health care industry. With each successful case, our team works with clients to shine a light on an area in which improvements can be made to our health care system. Bob was the lead attorney in the landmark case of Roth v. Turbomeca, where he successfully argued that a flight nurse severely injured in a helicopter crash could sue for damages for being wrongfully induced to settle her lawsuit by lies about insurance coverage, yet still enforce the underlying settlement. As a skilled personal injury attorney, Bob’s greatest strength is his ability to develop strong relationships with his clients who regularly refer his work. He has settled numerous personal injury and wrongful death cases that occurred as a result of catastrophic accidents, medication errors, surgical errors, birth injuries, misdiagnosis, emergency room negligence, nursing negligence, and nursing home negligence resulting in pressure ulcers and falls. Prior to becoming a partner with the firm, Bob spent more than 20 years practicing law in Independence, MO. His wife Kim has been his paralegal for almost 30 years and serves as White, Graham, Buckley & Carr, LLC’s office manager.
