KEVIN S. MCDONALD

NYC PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER

Kevin S. McDonald is a trial lawyer who has retired from full-time practice and is presently Of Counsel to our office assisting in cases involving life-changing injuries and wrongful death, particularly those resulting from medical malpractice and medical negligence in NYC.

Mr. McDonald graduated Cum Laude from the University of Notre Dame and then studied law at the Fordham University School of Law where he graduated in 1974. For over 40 years, Mr. McDonald has represented clients injured through the negligence of others – virtually all in the area of medical malpractice. His track record of success is impressive by any standard. One of the leading medical negligence lawyers in NYC, he has achieved over 30 verdicts and settlements in excess of 1 million dollars.*

Of particular note is one of the largest medical malpractice verdicts in New York State history wherein a jury found that a New York Hospital negligently failed to respond to respiratory distress for a young man, resulting in severe brain damage. The Plaintiff was awarded $46.2 million in damages.*

Mr. McDonald combines a scrupulous approach to the preparation of a case for trial with a firm understanding of complex legal and medical issues. He knows that cases are very often won or lost in their preparation and he focuses his efforts in that regard to ensure that his clients are given the best representation possible during all phases of the litigation. Mr. McDonald’s attention to detail and legal acumen are very evident when it comes to the taking of depositions of various types of medical providers. His precise and insightful questioning of these witnesses has enabled him to successfully establish the liability of the defendants in a manner which leaves little room for argument.

Mr. McDonald is then able to translate his intense preparation into a comprehensible and compelling story for the jury. In contrast to many medical malpractice lawyers who rarely see the inside of a courtroom, Mr. McDonald has extensive trial experience, having taken many cases to trial and verdict. He has an intimate understanding of the dynamics of a jury trial, as well as a unique combination of theater, persuasion and strategy. He uses the latest digital technology and other sophisticated courtroom techniques to maintain jurors’ interest and convince them of the merits of his client’s case.

Mr. McDonald reflects his single-minded pursuit of justice in what many consider to be the most challenging area of personal injury law. Medical malpractice work requires an in-depth knowledge not just of the law, but of medicine as well, and a lack of preparedness can doom a case. “You’ve got to know your case cold,” Mr. McDonald says. His achievements in the courtroom demonstrate that he is one of the top medical negligence lawyers in NYC who never fails to live up to his word.
