Medical Malpractice/Health Care Liability

Medical malpractice and professional liability defense represents a significant part of the Firm’s litigation practice.

Our trial lawyers successfully represent health care providers, nursing homes, dentists, psychiatric care facilities, hospitals, physicians, and medical training institutions, at trial, on appeal, and in administrative and regulatory disputes in cases that often encompass complex medical liability facts and causation issues, as well as present substantial damage exposure. We defend our clients in disputes involving malpractice allegations focusing on high-risk specialty practices, such as obstetrics, neonatology, cardiology, emergency medicine, oncology, anesthesiology, and surgery; product liability lawsuits involving pharmaceuticals and medical devices; charges of negligence in hiring or credentialing medical staff, licensure, informed consent, unsterilized instruments, and failure to diagnose; certification and survey, and de-certification, suspension and termination proceedings; and employment and labor, medical staff, corporate, contract and non-competition issues.

To provide the most thorough representation, our attorneys are supported by state-of-the-art technology and a dedicated team of support staff. As a result, we handle a large number of medical negligence cases each year, and have an outstanding reputation in the legal and medical communities.
