Personal Injury
Gardner L. Turner was also a 1954 graduate of the UK College of Law, and earned a Commerce Degree from the University of Kentucky. Gardner’s early legal practice was truly a family affair—it involved title work, thanks to the help of his father, and Gardner’s mother was the firm’s main typist. The partners would deliver their hand-written letters to her in the morning for her to type on her lunch hour. Mrs. Turner was a great help in getting the firm started and later became bookkeeper on a part-time basis. Gardner became City Prosecutor after Roy resigned from the position, and served as such for 3 years. Afterward, Gardner began to focus his practice on estate work, personal injury matters, collections and commercial corporation work. Gardner was active in the Kentucky Bar Association for several decades and served in many capacities, including a position as chair of the disciplinary section. Gardner practiced law until 2016, acting as the firm’s general counsel, continuing his estate work and mentoring the firm’s new associates.
Medical Malpractice
In 2019, the General Assembly passed the Certificate of Merit Statute (KRS 411.167), which requires the plaintiff at the outset of the litigation to certify that that the matter has been reviewed by a qualified expert, and that after examining that review, the claimant has decided that there is some reasonable basis to allow the lawsuit to proceed. Like the MRP, the Certificate of Merit was an attempt to ensure that a potential claimant obtain an expert review prior to filing a lawsuit. Most medical malpractice claims require an expert to testify that the medical provider erred, and that the error led to a patient’s injury. These necessary elements are defined as (1) breach of the standard of care (what a reasonably competent provider would do under the same or similar circumstance) and (2) causation. Both elements are necessary to succeed under a malpractice claim.
