Kirsten R. Daniel

I am Kirsten R. Daniel. My background is unique, in that for the first part of my career, I defended hospitals and insurance companies in malpractice cases. In this position I gained an understanding of how these entities defend themselves against malpractice.

Believing I could do so much more to help people and my community, I started representing people across Kentucky and Indiana who have been harmed by another’s negligence. My strategic, insightful approach to each case gives my clients the best chance to recover full and fair compensation after a serious injury. As a mother, a wife and an attorney, I take great pride in helping my clients move forward with their lives. I believe that in every case, I have the chance to make our community a safer place to live.

Ms. Daniel represents clients with catastrophic injuries, focusing on medical malpractice and complex litigation. Formerly a defense attorney for hospitals, corporations, and physicians, she understands how they defend and value claims. Since switching to plaintiff work, she has won multiple jury trials with multi‑million dollar verdicts and settled numerous cases worth millions.

She has tried cases nationwide, including New York City, Kansas, Indiana, and across Kentucky. A mother, she is especially committed to helping children and has deep experience in birth and neonatal injury cases, requiring thorough medical knowledge. She has taken depositions of leading experts in obstetrics, neonatology, neurosurgery, cardiovascular surgery, and orthopedic surgery. Her medical expertise also informs non‑medical malpractice cases—such as car and trucking accidents—allowing her to explain long‑term effects and projected medical costs to juries.
