Medical Malpractice Defense
Our firm has had extensive experience in the defense of individual and institutional health care professionals and their insurers involving multi-million dollar exposures. Our extensive network of specialists enables us to conduct comprehensive reviews of medical records and relevant medical research; select and retain expert witnesses and consultants; and conduct all phases of litigation and trial work. Our attorneys have successfully defended hospitals, nurses, physicians, therapists, dentists, and other health care professionals on claims of medical malpractice. We have extensive knowledge of the intricate issues surrounding these claims, including standard of care and admissibility of expert testimony.
Unlike many other disputes, professional liability claims are about more than money. When an allegation of professional negligence is made, the defendant's reputation is at stake and this factor must be taken into consideration. While trial skill and resolve is essential in handling lawsuits, many cases can be resolved long before trial. Our attorneys have proven that they can see litigation through to a successful jury verdict when necessary. But, they also have the dispute resolution experience to assist in obtaining timely and efficient settlements for clients where possible.
We also provide medical products liability defense and are on top of the rapid technological advancements and frequent changes in the law associated with drug and medical devices. These cases are often complex to litigate. Whether predicated upon allegations of defective design or manufacturing, these cases require attorneys who possess intellectual, organizational and technological skills.
