About

Kuhlman Law, LLC is a trial-focused law firm based in Bend, Oregon, with additional offices in Portland, Oregon and Minnesota. Founded on the principle of delivering justice to those harmed by powerful institutions and corporations, the firm concentrates on medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, trucking accidents, and employment and whistleblower cases.

Chris Kuhlman, the firm's principal trial attorney, brings nearly fifteen years of litigation experience to his cases. Unlike many attorneys who resolve disputes through correspondence and pleadings, Kuhlman regularly takes cases to trial. He deliberately limits his caseload each year, handling matters with the expectation that they will proceed to trial and preparing each one with meticulous attention. His practice centers on medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, trucking violations, and whistleblower representation. Kuhlman's clients typically face catastrophic circumstances and significant odds—often confronting multinational corporations, major insurance carriers, and other powerful defendants. Much of his success stems from the strong relationships he builds with clients throughout investigation and trial preparation, and his cases have yielded substantial results in these David-versus-Goliath disputes on behalf of families and individuals.

The firm has developed particular expertise in birth injury cases, including those involving hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), cerebral palsy, and placental complications. The website addresses the serious questions families face when medical negligence during labor or delivery harms their newborn, reflecting the firm's focus on holding hospitals and healthcare providers accountable.

Laura Springer provides case support across all of Kuhlman Law's matters. Her prior experience as Director of Operations for a large nursing home brings strategic insight and specialized knowledge to the firm's nursing home abuse cases, allowing the team to identify negligence and patterns of harm that others may miss.

Kuhlman Law maintains a strong commitment to investigating Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration violations in trucking cases and HIPAA breaches. The firm serves clients throughout Oregon, Minnesota, and multiple other states. Kuhlman is recognized as a SuperLawyer (top 5% of the profession) for 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020.
