When you walk into a hospital, clinic, or doctor’s office, you expect to receive competent, professional care. You trust that the people treating you — or your loved one — have the training and judgment to make the right decisions. But when that trust is broken, and medical negligence causes harm, the consequences can be devastating. That’s why, at Herren · Adams, we help victims of medical malpractice seek justice, accountability, and compensation for what they’ve lost.
And as experienced medical malpractice attorneys in Lexington, KY, we’ve been standing up for injured patients for more than 35 years. These cases aren’t easy. In fact, they’re among the most complex and heavily defended types of personal injury claims. But our firm has the legal knowledge, resources, and grit to take on hospitals, physicians, and their insurers — and win.
Medical malpractice cases in Kentucky require more than just evidence of a bad outcome. To succeed, you need to show that a healthcare provider failed to follow accepted medical standards — and that failure caused injury. It’s a high bar, and it requires extensive legal and medical insight to clear it.
At Herren Law, we’ve built a career on tackling complex litigation. We don’t shy away from difficult claims. Whether your injury happened at a major hospital like UK HealthCare or Baptist Health, or at a smaller private practice in Lexington, our team is prepared to step in and fight for you.
We also understand how emotionally challenging these cases can be. When the very professionals entrusted with your care are the ones who let you down, it’s more than just a legal issue — it’s personal. That’s why we make it our mission to support you every step of the way, while we work tirelessly to hold the negligent party accountable.
Our attorneys have successfully handled hundreds of medical negligence cases throughout Kentucky, covering a wide range of scenarios. Here are just a few examples of the types of malpractice we see most often:
Errors during labor and delivery can lead to lifelong consequences for both the child and the family. We represent families dealing with:
Cerebral palsy
Erb’s palsy
Brachial plexus injuries
Oxygen deprivation injuries
We understand how emotionally devastating these cases are, and we work to secure the compensation needed for long-term care and support.
Cancer
Stroke
Heart attack
Infections or sepsis
These delays can mean the difference between recovery and irreversible harm. We investigate whether proper procedures were followed and whether earlier diagnosis could have changed the outcome.
Even a routine procedure can go terribly wrong when medical staff are careless. We handle cases involving:
Operating on the wrong body part
Leaving surgical instruments inside the patient
Anesthesia overdoses or failure to monitor vitals
Post-surgical infections due to unsanitary conditions

To succeed in a malpractice case, we must prove that your provider deviated from the accepted standard of care. That requires expert testimony. At Herren Law, we’re already equipped with the resources to get that done.

Whether your case involves obstetrics, cardiology, oncology, or general surgery, we can match your case with an expert who will help us uncover the truth and hold the negligent parties accountable.
