Robert D. Lewis

Robert D. Lewis serves as a partner at The Lawrence Firm, PSC, in Covington, Kentucky. He focuses his practice exclusively on medical malpractice and birth injury matters in Ohio and Kentucky, helping children whose lives are unfairly destroyed by brain impairments sustained at birth as a result of improperly supervised labors and careless deliveries. 

Rob Lewis is a passionate advocate for his catastrophically injured clients and their families.  He devotes the majority of his practice to representing children who are needlessly and tragically devastated by brain injuries at birth as a result of poorly managed labors and negligently executed deliveries. 

He is past Chairman of the American Association of Justice’s Birth Trauma Litigation Group, a national organization of attorneys who are devoted to serving injured babies and their families. He is also a member of the Birth Trauma Litigation Group’s Executive Board and a past Editor of the Birth Trauma Litigation Journal.  

Rob has successfully tried and settled many cases involving birth injuries, including those involving Cerebral Palsy, perinatal stroke, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), and traumatic injury. Similarly, he has successfully tried and settled cases involving many other types of medical negligence, including cases involving brain injury, spinal cord injury, cases involving clients who have been injured and killed by the negligent administration of anesthesia, and cases involving families who have lost their loved ones due to nursing home abuse and neglect. He believes in giving his all for the people he represents and fighting for them while keeping in mind that litigation is usually not their first choice and that their lives already have been complicated by injury and loss. 

He frequently writes and lectures on birth injury, medical negligence, litigation and trial practice. He is a past Chair of the Medical Negligence Information Exchange for the American Association of Justice.  He is a member of the Executive Board of AAJ's Birth Trauma Litigation Group.
