Medical Malpractice Defense

Today’s health care industry is often as much about the management and avoidance of malpractice claims as it is the practice of medicine. For health care practitioners and institutions, the fear of a medical malpractice lawsuit and its impact has become as pervasive as that of an infectious disease.

We have extensive experience in defending individual physicians, physician groups, hospitals, nursing homes and other health care institutions against malpractice claims, working closely with their insurance providers to limit the impact on their practice or business.

Our attorneys represent clients at every stage of a malpractice action, including pre-litigation claims, discovery and depositions. We have litigated medical malpractice cases on all levels of state and federal court in Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Our attorneys also offer preventive counsel through in-house risk management and training seminars for medical facility personnel on topics such as record-keeping procedures to minimize the risk of lawsuits.
