Medical Malpractice

Making Things Right after Medical Malpractice

When improper medical care causes injury or death, health care providers can and should be held responsible. This is important both to ensure victims receive the support and care they need and to prevent others from being harmed in similar situations.

Since our law office was established in 1982, Hay & Knight, PLLC has remained committed to helping victims of medical negligence obtain answers and compensation. Located in Somerset, we represent seriously injured victims of medical malpractice throughout South Central and Eastern Kentucky and across the state, drawing on our in-depth understanding of medical malpractice laws and our extensive trial and negotiation experience. This allows us to secure the best possible results for our clients.

Richard Hay is a Certified Trial Specialist and Past President of the Kentucky Academy of Trial Attorneys.
