About Loretta Sheehan
Loretta A. Sheehan has been litigating personal injury and medical malpractice cases at Davis Levin Livingston for approximately 15 years. In 2023, she won the largest medical malpractice judgment in Hawaii history when Judge J. Michael Seabright awarded nearly $30 million in Warren et al. v. USA, arising from malpractice at Tripler Army Medical Center. Her other results include a $15.4 million settlement for the wrongful death of a woman killed while hiking on Kauai, a $6.25 million jury verdict for a golfer paralyzed due to negligent golf course maintenance by MidPac Country Club, and a $4.2 million judgment after trial in a botched gastric bypass surgery case. She attended Boston University summa cum laude and earned her law degree from Georgetown University Law Center.
Proven verdicts and settlements
A federal bench trial found that Tripler Army Medical Center's 19-hour failure to treat a one-month-old's midgut volvulus destroyed 90 to 95 percent of her small intestine, leaving her with lifelong disability; U.S. District Judge Michael Seabright awarded the Warren family $29,479,308.
A Kauai judge found Hawaii totally at fault after a state-posted warning sign at the left trail entrance near Opaeka'a Falls left the right-hand path -- which ended at a sheer 300-foot cliff -- completely unmarked, sending two visiting women to their deaths.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
