Medical Malpractice Litigation Backed by Medical Expertise

When a preventable medical mistake changes your life, you deserve answers—and a legal team that understands both medicine and the courtroom. Rensch & Rensch represents injured patients and families in medical malpractice cases across Nebraska, including Omaha, Columbus, and surrounding communities.

 

WHY MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CASES ARE DIFFERENT

Medical malpractice claims are not like typical injury cases. They require deep investigation, a clear understanding of complex medical records, strong expert support, and the ability to explain technical medicine to a jury in plain English. Hospitals and insurance companies fight these cases aggressively from day one. That’s why choosing the right law firm matters. Patients deserve answers when medical care goes wrong.

RENSCH & RENSCH – A Physician-Lawyer Advantage

Medical cases come down to the medicine: what should have happened, what actually happened, and how the deviation caused harm. With Mitchell Kohl, M.D., J.D. on your legal team, our firm brings an uncommon blend of clinical knowledge and litigation skill. We can spot red flags in records, ask sharper questions, and help translate complicated care into a clear, compelling case narrative.

75+ Years of Injury-Law Experience

Rensch & Rensch has more than 75 years of combined experience advocating for injured people. We know how insurers evaluate claims, how defense teams build their arguments, and how to pressure cases toward fair value, through preparation, persistence, and trial-readiness.

Results That Matter.

We’ve recovered hundreds of millions for clients. Every case is unique, and results vary, but our track record reflects a simple approach: we build strong cases, and we push them aggressively. We prepare every case like it’s going to trial, and insurance carriers pay attention to law firms that are ready to try cases. We develop your case from the beginning with trial standards, medical chronology, expert review, damages documentation, and clear themes, so you’re never negotiating from a position of weakness.

Client-First Communication

Medical malpractice clients are often dealing with life-altering injuries, grief, and uncertainty. You will be treated with respect, kept informed, and given straightforward guidance. We’ll explain what we’re doing and why—without legal fog.

If you’re unsure whether what happened was malpractice, that’s normal. The purpose of an initial case review is to determine whether the facts support a claim.

 

 

  • Not every bad outcome is malpractice. A malpractice case generally involves:
    • A provider-patient relationship (duty of care)
    • A breach of the medical standard of care
    • Causation (the breach caused injury)
    • Damages (physical, financial, or emotional harm)

  • We evaluate a wide range of medical negligence claims, including:
    • Delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis (cancer, stroke, infection, sepsis)
    • Surgical errors and preventable complications
    • Anesthesia mistakes
    • Medication and pharmacy errors
    • Birth injuries
    • Failure to monitor or respond to a changing patient condition
    • Emergency room errors
    • Hospital and nursing negligence
    • Wrongful death from medical negligence

  • Step 1:
    Confidential Intake and Record Review
    We listen first. Then we identify the key records and events that matter most.

    Step 2:
    Medical Case Evaluation
    We analyze the timeline, the decision points, and potential standard-of-care issues—often with medical expert review when appropriate.

    Step 3:
    Clear Next Steps
    If the case is viable, we’ll explain the process, anticipated timelines, and what we need from you.

    CONTINGENCY FEE: YOU DON’T PAY UNLESS WE RECOVER
    Medical malpractice litigation is expensive and time-intensive. We handle these cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney’s fee unless we obtain a recovery for you. During your consultation, we’ll explain fees and case costs in plain terms.
