Medical Malpractice

A lawsuit claiming medical malpractice can be a daunting and stressful experience for even the most capable healthcare provider. Statistics from the American Medical Association suggest that in today’s modern litigation climate, as many as one-third of all licensed physicians will be forced to defend against a malpractice lawsuit at some point in their careers. Defending against these claims is costly and time-consuming, with concerns including individual financial consequences, damage to reputation, increases in insurance premiums, and licensure board action.
