Roger Johnson, a founding partner at Johnson, Vorhees & Martucci, is well-known for landmark wins in lawsuits stemming from catastrophic birth injuries and deaths. 

In 2021, he won a $34 million award for a child who suffered brain damage at birth, marking the largest plaintiffs’ verdict of the year as tracked by Missouri Lawyers Media, and ranked among the top 100 in the United States by the National Law Journal.

As a result of a $4.8 million verdict Johnson won in 2011 for a child born with severe brain damage, the Missouri Supreme Court ruled that the state’s cap on noneconomic damages in medical negligence cases was unconstitutional.

Johnson earned his law degree from the University of Kansas in 1991.
