- 2.2 million dollar birth injury settlementOn behlaf of the parents of a Cheyenne, Wyoming baby, Kevin Mahoney obtained a $2.2 million settlement from an obstetrician and a hospital. The mother had delivered her first child by Cesarean section, and, upon the advice of her obstetrician, was attempting a vaginal birth for her second child (VBAC). The fetal monitor strip showed signs of fetal distress, which went unnoticed by the labor and delivery nurse and the obstetrician. The mother's uterus eventually ruptured, extruding the baby into the abdomen. Going without oxygen for several minutes, the baby suffered permanent brain damage.
- 1.5 million dollar wrongful death settlement Kevin Mahoney obtained a 1.5 million dollar settlement on behalf of a man whose 38 year-old wife died after hysterectomy surgery.

- 2 million dollar dental malpractice verdict. In 2017, The Mahoney Law Firm obtained the largest jury verdict in a dental malpractice case in the history of Colorado. The insurance company for the defendant-dentist never made any offer to settle the case. The jury returned an award of 2 million dollars, which was the entire amount claimed by our client.
- 1.75 million dollar Wyoming wrongful death settlement. Our firm obtained a 1.75 million dollar settlement for the widower of a 30 year-old woman who died from a pulmonary embolism. The decedent had undergone arthroscopic knee surgery and shortly thereafter developed chest pain and shortness of breath. None of the physicians that she saw for her complaints ever ordered a ventilation/perfusion scan or any other diagnostic test to rule out deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary emboli. The woman died two weeks later as a result of multiple pulmonary emboli.
- 4.5 million dollar birth injury settlement Kevin Mahoney obtained a four and a half million dollar settlement on behalf of a three year-old boy who suffers from cerebral palsy due to lack of oxygen at birth. The child's mother called her doctor's office the day before her son was born and told the nurse that she was experiencing decreased fetal movement. The nurse did not instruct the patient to come to the office or to the hospital to be evaluated. Twenty-four hours later, the mother's water broke and her son was delivered by emergency cesarean section. The child sustained catastrophic brain injuries., 2010
