Medical Liability

In medical liability cases, a successful legal defense requires experienced litigators who have extensive knowledge of medical legal issues, medical terminology, and the health care system. Our attorneys have decades of experience defending high-exposure medical liability cases throughout Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. Through our experience, we have established tried-and-true defense strategies and possess the critical ability to present complex medical issues to what is often a non-medical audience and jury.

Our defense strategy involves a team approach, and we are one of the only law firms in the region that has a dedicated team of in-house nurses who assist with consulting subject matter experts in defense of the case. We meet the client where they are and provide a high-quality, personalized service throughout the litigation process. Whether the case involves emergency room, surgical, obstetrical, or other health care settings, we know how to get to the heart of the medical issues.

Hard work, dedication, and zealous advocacy underscore our success. We are recognized by our peers for excellence, innovation, and the ability to achieve optimal results for our clients.
