Our Experience

Kentucky medical malpractice lawyer Steve Frederick has extensive experience representing clients injured as a result of careless doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other health-care individuals and facilities. His numerous multi-million dollar jury verdicts and settlements have helped tragically injured clients get the care and compensation they are entitled to.

Another goal our clients often strive for is to bring about change in policies and procedures to help prevent others from suffering the same fate. Fortunately, we have been able to do so in a number of cases.


In addition to representing clients, Steve also participates in the education of fellow lawyers in the area of medical negligence. "Medical Malpractice in Kentucky", a book by Carl Frederick, provides a valuable resource for Kentucky lawyers who handle such cases. We have also made presentations at local and national seminars on the topic.
