Recognized in Best Lawyers since 2020 
ABOUT ME
I'm Kay Van Wey, a Board-Certified Personal Injury Trial Lawyer and Patient Safety Advocate who represents individuals and families whose lives have been forever changed by medical negligence and catastrophic accidents. For more than 40 years, I have helped clients navigate their most difficult moments with skilled advocacy, compassionate counsel, and an unwavering pursuit of justice.
MY APPROACH
My approach to practicing law is personal.
Having experienced a devastating family tragedy and navigated the legal system firsthand, I understand the uncertainty, grief, and challenges my clients face. That experience shaped my commitment to helping individuals and families find answers, accountability, and justice.
My team and I provide hands-on, personalized representation and are relentless in our pursuit of the best possible outcome for every client.
I am also a dedicated patient safety advocate. Many know me for representing victims of Christopher Duntsch, known as "Dr. Death." That work reinforced my belief that while most healthcare providers are skilled, caring professionals, the systems designed to identify and stop dangerous practitioners must do a better job of protecting patients from preventable harm.
Every case is an opportunity not only to help a client rebuild their life, but also to advance accountability and create meaningful change for others.

My track record is built on hard work, relentless preparation, and an unwavering commitment to securing justice for my clients.

I welcome the opportunity to help you or a family member pursue the justice you deserve.
