When a trusted provider's error causes harm, we hold them accountable and pursue the compensation your recovery requires.
We place enormous trust in our doctors and hospitals, and when that trust is broken through negligence, the consequences can be devastating and lifelong. For more than 30 years, Mattoch & Kirley has guided clients through medical malpractice and other personal injury claims across Hawaii.
These cases are complex and heavily defended, requiring medical experts and a careful review of the records. We have the experience and resources to take them on.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and is evaluated on its own facts.
Malpractice occurs when a provider fails to meet the accepted standard of care and that failure causes injury. Not every bad outcome is malpractice, which is why these cases require careful medical review by experienced and credentialed experts. Our firm has established relationships with respected medical experts who have extensive experience reviewing cases, publishing research, teaching at leading universities, and providing expert testimony in court. Their knowledge and insight help us thoroughly evaluate potential claims and build strong cases when negligence has occurred.
Proving medical malpractice typically requires qualified medical experts to establish the applicable standard of care, explain how the provider failed to meet that standard, and demonstrate how that failure caused your injury. Because medicine is complex, expert testimony is often essential to show what a reasonably prudent healthcare provider would have done under similar circumstances. Our firm works closely with a network of highly credentialed medical experts, including physicians, researchers, and university-affiliated professionals who have extensive experience reviewing malpractice claims and providing expert testimony in court. Their expertise allows us to thoroughly evaluate potential cases and present clear, persuasive evidence when medical negligence has occurred.
Hawaii sets specific deadlines for medical malpractice claims, and certain pre-suit requirements may apply. Because timing rules are strict, contact an attorney as soon as possible.
