Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about medical malpractice attorney cases

How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case?

Medical malpractice requires proving the provider violated the standard of care AND that violation caused your injury. Not every bad outcome is malpractice. We have medical experts review your case to determine if you have a valid claim.

What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in Kentucky?

Generally one year from when you discovered or should have discovered the injury, but no more than five years from the act of malpractice. There are exceptions. Contact an attorney promptly to protect your rights.

What is a "certificate of merit"?

Kentucky requires that before filing a medical malpractice lawsuit, you must have a qualified medical expert sign a certificate stating there is merit to your claim. We handle this requirement as part of case evaluation.

Can I sue a hospital, or just the doctor?

Potentially both. Hospitals can be liable for their employees' negligence and for systemic failures (inadequate staffing, poor policies, equipment failures). We identify all potentially responsible parties.
