Malpractice & Hospital Liability

Medical Malpractice Cases

Medical malpractice claims and hospital liability claims are among the most complex and hotly contested injury claims. Doctors and hospitals very rarely admit they did anything wrong or provided substandard care, and they vigorously defend against any such claims at all costs.

Unfortunately, they have a tremendous advantage in knowing the medical issues and in having access to all the records and a vast array of experts. As such, pursuing medical malpractice and hospital liability claims requires tireless preparation by a team of experienced attorneys who work with medical experts on detailed medical issues.
If you believe you have been injured due to the negligence of a health care provider, you do not want to hire an attorney or firm that just "dabbles" in this area of practice. You want a firm that has attorneys who have vast experience in handling medical malpractice claims and who have tried these cases to a jury — successfully.
