[redacted] (“Petitioner”), by and through her attorney, [redacted], and files this Petition in application for an Order requiring the production of medical records pursuant to RSMo. § 191.227.1. In support of her Petition, Petitioner states as follows:

  1. Petitioner is a resident of Jackson County, Missouri and a surviving daughter of Decedent, DOB:[redacted], Social Security No.[redacted]  (“Decedent”), who died on October 17, 2013 in Jackson County, Missouri.
  2. Petitioner is investigating a wrongful death claim and is a prospective plaintiff in a wrongful death action that may be filed in the Circuit Court. As a surviving child of Decedent, Petitioner is a proper party to bring a wrongful death action pursuant to RSMo. § 537.080.
  3. Decedent received medical care and treatment from various health care providers. In the course of providing medical care treatment, such health care providers generated records and reports of Decedent’s health history and the medical treatment rendered to her.

  4. Pursuant to RSMo. § 191.227.1, Petitioner has the right to obtain copies of the complete records of Decedent’s health history and treatment rendered to her by health care providers.

  6. Petitioner’s Proposed Order is appended hereto.

WHEREFORE, Petitioner [redacted] prays the Court’s Order requiring the production of Decedent’s medical records.
