Patrick B. Healy

Patrick protects clients – transportation companies, including a national ride-sharing company, physicians and health care providers, insurance companies, manufacturing companies, and others – in complex civil litigation involving allegations of catastrophic injury and harm. Admitted to practice in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana state courts and the federal district courts in each, Patrick is well-positioned to represent clients throughout the Tri-State area from his office in Cincinnati.

Clients appreciate his willingness to take challenging cases to trial and aggressively advocate for their interests before a jury, like the gas service provider he represented in a lawsuit stemming from an explosion and fire in one of their buildings. The accident led to substantial property damage and three burn-victim plaintiffs. After extensive discovery and depositions of numerous experts, the matter was resolved shortly before trial at a figure applauded by the client and its multiple layers of available insurance coverage.

In another case, Patrick’s manufacturing company client was sued by an insurance company seeking to recover millions of dollars it had paid out for agricultural crop-loss claims involving his client’s product. Refusing to concede liability, Patrick’s team creatively utilized experts in fields like chemical engineering, weather data, crop-yields, and accounting to establish that the claims should never have been paid in the first place. The jury agreed and decided in favor of Patrick's client.

During one six-month stretch just before his 30th birthday, Patrick tried three separate jury trials in Kentucky, obtaining a defense verdict in each. He has earned the designation of Certified Litigation Management Professional through the Claim and Litigation Management Alliance organization.
