I was recommended to Darin by a friend of mine and it was a great decision. I was T-boned while driving through an intersection on my motorcycle. Darin fought hard to get all of the medical bills taken care of as well as getting a fair value for my damaged property. This started as a no fault case but he worked diligently to prove culpability. I appreciate him taking the time to explain every part of the process along the way. I would recommend Darin to anyone in need of an attorney.

From the beginning of our experience with Hutton and Hutton Law Firm, we just kind of knew these were our guys. We had a very difficult case involving a minor and they went above and beyond any and all of my expectations. They not only fight for you but they get to know you and I still receive emails on Holidays and occasional calls just checking in. I could not be happier with Darin Hayes and the service that was provided for us. They helped us get everything we needed and more for my son.

When I spoke with Mr. Singer for the first time his first statement was that "he would do everything possible in my interest and try his best to help me . " Just by speaking with him I had peace of mind and boost in my confidence. He worked hard and with lot of dedication and represented my case very professionally and efficiently. I really admire his composure, work ethic and most importantly his excellent representation. I was very impressed with his professional skills and abilities. I am grateful for his representation and help during a difficult time .

This man is a loser as I told him when I walked out and had to hire someone else. Unanswered emails, phone calls, then had to stop by his office daily until I found him there without a locked door and lights out during normal business hours. He cost me 9 months of my life and thousands of dollars. He offered a refund due to his mistakes
and then renigged when I hired other council. Beware!!!

Lynnette Herrman did an outstanding job, I'd give her and her assistant Jodi 6 stars if I could. They both respond promptly to every email, well outside of normal working hours. Great attitudes all around. Lynnette put up with some nasty abuse from my opposing party in a very professional manner. My experience with her is day and night compared to a previous attorney I had hired, who took weeks to get any little thing done, made mistakes constantly and then charged me to correct her errors, was rude and condescending, incommunicative and even dumped me without warning because I didn't appreciate paying for her to correct herself. At some point, Lynnette wasn't 100% pleased with some little thing she had done, I don't recall it now but it was minor; she told me she was changing it and would do it on her own time at no cost to me. So glad I found Herrman Law, they helped me through a very rough time. Highly recommend!

For charging a client 30k+ to say little to no words in the court room. Be called out by the judge for not having support letters in at a timely matter. Informing client little to no information through out the process. We would not recommend for any federal case.

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.
When Should I Hire a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?
Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is essential if you’ve been seriously injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider or institution. Situations where you should seek legal representation include:
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: If a doctor fails to diagnose or delays diagnosing a medical condition, leading to harm or progression of the illness.
- Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
- Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
- Birth injuries: Injuries to a newborn due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, such as failing to perform a timely C-section or improper use of delivery instruments.
- Anesthesia errors: Complications arising from improperly administered anesthesia, which can lead to serious injury or death.
- Inadequate follow-up or aftercare: Suffering due to lack of proper monitoring or care after a medical procedure, leading to complications.
- Hospital or nursing home negligence: Harm caused by the negligence of hospital staff, nurses, or administrators who failed to provide adequate care.
Medical malpractice cases are complex, and hiring a lawyer early can help ensure your rights are protected and your case is handled effectively.

A medical malpractice lawyer provides various legal services to help injured patients hold negligent healthcare providers accountable. Their responsibilities include:
- Evaluating your case: Reviewing medical records and consulting with experts to determine if you have a viable claim based on the standard of care and harm suffered.
- Filing a lawsuit: Initiating legal action by filing a complaint against the responsible parties in the appropriate court.
- Gathering evidence: Collecting medical records, expert testimonies, and other relevant evidence to build a strong case.
- Negotiating with insurance companies: Working to secure a fair settlement that compensates you for your injuries without the need for a trial.
- Litigating in court: Representing you during trial proceedings if a settlement cannot be reached, presenting evidence and arguing your case.
- Calculating damages: Assessing the full extent of your losses, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
- Handling expert testimony: Coordinating with medical experts who can testify on how the standard of care was breached and how it led to your injuries.
How Are Medical Malpractice Lawyers Paid?
Most medical malpractice lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if they recover compensation for you. Key aspects of this payment structure include:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer's fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the settlement or award.
- No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.
- Case expenses: Costs for expert witnesses, medical record retrieval, and court fees may be deducted from your settlement or award in addition to the lawyer's fee.
Always discuss the fee arrangement during your initial consultation to understand your financial obligations.
