Medical Malpractice Overview
The healthcare system is not designed to tell you when something went wrong. You have to find out for yourself.
Hospitals and providers have risk management teams, insurers, and lawyers whose job is to limit liability after a bad outcome. Medical records may be incomplete. Explanations may be vague. In many cases, patients and families never find out that negligence occurred because no one tells them. Pursuing a medical malpractice claim requires independent investigation, qualified expert review, and an attorney who will not be intimidated by institutional resistance.
“The records tell a story. They rarely tell the whole story. Finding the rest of it is what we do. ”

Know Your Medical Malpractice Rights
Medical Malpractice Lawsuits in plain language.
If we take your medical malpractice case, we handle every aspect of it, from expert retention to trial. If we do not think we can improve your outcome, we will tell you that honestly.
Your Right to Hold Healthcare Providers to a Standard of Care.
Every licensed physician, surgeon, dentist, and hospital in Kentucky owes patients a duty to meet the standard of care applicable to their specialty. When a provider’s conduct falls below that standard and causes injury, the patient has a right to pursue compensation. The standard is what a reasonably competent provider in the same specialty would have done under the same circumstances.

Medical Malpractice Lawsuits Questions
-
A viable malpractice claim requires evidence that the provider’s conduct fell below the applicable standard of care and that the deviation caused your injury. The only way to know for certain is to have a qualified attorney and a medical expert review your records. We offer free, confidential consultations for exactly this purpose.
-
Under KRS 411.167, a plaintiff filing a medical malpractice claim must attach a certificate to the complaint affirming that a qualified medical expert has reviewed the facts and concluded there is a reasonable basis for the claim. This requirement exists to ensure that claims have expert support before they reach court. Hance & Srinivasan works with qualified medical experts to meet this requirement and build the evidentiary foundation for every case they take.
-
You may recover medical expenses past and future including corrective treatment, lost wages, reduced future earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Where malpractice caused a death, the estate may also pursue wrongful death damages.
-
Not necessarily. Many medical malpractice cases are resolved through negotiation before trial. However, because malpractice defendants and their insurers vigorously contest these claims, a credible willingness to take the case to trial significantly affects the settlement value. We prepare every case as if it is going to trial, which is often why it does not have to.
