Firm Information

Overview

Based in Columbus, Ohio, The Donahey Law Firm, LLC, represents individuals and families whose lives have been upended by serious accidents and negligence. Our practice areas include medical malpractice, nursing home negligence, truck accidents, car accidents, traumatic brain injury, birth injuries, workers' compensation, wrongful death, train accidents, motorcycle accidents, plane accidents, animal attacks, product liability, premises injuries and other serious or fatal injuries. We routinely take on some of the most complex catastrophic injury cases in the state.

Richard Donahey founded our firm in 1968 with a singular purpose: to champion injured people. His 58 years in the courtroom and his admission to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court in 1971 established the standard we continue to uphold. He is also among the few Ohio attorneys to hold an engineering degree from The Ohio State University, a background that strengthens our ability to identify the underlying causes behind catastrophic events.

Mr. Donahey helped shape a practice devoted exclusively to personal injury law. Where many firms are drawn to corporate work, we chose to stand with victims who need dedicated advocacy to rebuild their lives. Today, our four attorneys bring more than 140 years of combined trial and settlement experience to each case.

We work on a contingency-fee basis, which means we collect a fee only when we recover damages on your behalf. That fee is a percentage of the award, and if there is no recovery, there is no fee. This approach gives families access to seasoned representation they might otherwise be unable to afford.

Our team of trial lawyers draws on backgrounds in civil and criminal litigation, industrial accidents, and wrongful death. Honors such as The Best Lawyers in America for medical malpractice law, Top 40 Under 40 and others reflect the respect we have earned, as does our record of multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements.

When negligence changes your life or your family's future, we are ready to listen. Contact The Donahey Law Firm, LLC, today for a free, no-obligation consultation, and let us fight for the compensation you deserve.
