Personal Injury
Medical Malpractice Attorney
Holding healthcare providers accountable
When healthcare providers fail in their duty of care, the consequences can be devastating: worsened conditions, permanent injuries, or death. We hold doctors, hospitals, and other medical providers accountable for negligence that harms patients.
You trust medical professionals with your life and health. When that trust is violated through negligence, carelessness, or incompetence, you deserve answers and accountability. Medical malpractice cases are complex and require attorneys who understand medicine, can work with expert witnesses, and aren't intimidated by large healthcare systems.
The Heinrich Firm has recovered significant compensation for victims of medical malpractice, including an $850,000 verdict in a medical malpractice case. We have the resources to investigate complex medical errors, retain top medical experts, and take on hospitals and their insurance companies.

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.
