Why Hire Us for Your Medical Malpractice Case?

If you or a loved one suffered a devastating injury or death due to a medical mistake, you’re likely searching for answers. Maybe a doctor, nurse, or even your gut instinct tells you something went wrong—symptoms were ignored, test results were missed, or decisions were delayed. You need information, and you deserve to know the truth.

At Donahoe Kearney, our experienced medical malpractice lawyers help families like yours uncover what happened and hold healthcare providers accountable.

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a hospital, doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider fails to follow established patient safety rules, causing serious injury or death. These mistakes can change lives forever and leave families facing unimaginable challenges.

Common medical malpractice cases include:

  • Birth injuries, including cerebral palsy caused by delayed delivery or failure to monitor fetal distress
  • Missed pulmonary embolism, when warning signs and symptoms were overlooked
  • Failure to diagnose life-threatening conditions due to misread or delayed test results
  • Surgical errors and hospital negligence that result in permanent harm

The Real Impact of Medical Malpractice

When healthcare providers fail to follow safety rules, the consequences can be life-changing:

  • A family loses a parent. Who will provide for them?
  • A spouse becomes paralyzed. How will you pay for lifelong care?
  • A child suffers a permanent disability. What happens as they grow older?

These are not just legal cases—they are your life, your family, and your future. We fight to secure the resources you need to move forward and rebuild your life.

How We Help You Get Answers

Medical malpractice cases are complex. Hospitals, doctors, and insurance companies rarely admit mistakes, which is why you need a legal team with experience and the resources to uncover the truth.

At Donahoe Kearney, we work with medical experts to answer critical questions:

  • What went wrong?
  • Why did it happen?
  • Could it have been prevented?

We are relentless in building your case, ensuring you have the evidence to hold healthcare providers accountable.
