Medical and hospital malpractice, long term care, and general casualty litigation are the primary focus areas for Craig A. Stone, Esquire. Craig has handled several hundred medical malpractice matters over 35 years in practice. He has represented numerous Central Pennsylvania hospitals and physician groups, as well as physicians, residents, dentists, periodontists, chiropractors, CNMs, PA-Cs, therapists, nurse practitioners, and podiatrists in health care liability matters.

In one somewhat unique case, Craig successfully argued that an ophthalmologist should not be liable to a driver injured in an auto accident by a patient with poor vision on the theory that the provider should have asked PennDOT to remove the patient's driving privileges.

A 1968 graduate of Princeton University, Craig is admitted to the Bar of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, the U.S. District Court for the Middle and Eastern Districts of Pennsylvania, as well as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and the United States Supreme Court. He has received certification in Civil Trial Advocacy by the National Board of Trial Advocacy.

Craig frequently lectures on malpractice trial techniques for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute. He has also spoken before the Pennsylvania Bar Association, the Pennsylvania Trial Lawyers Association, as well as various paralegal, medical, and nursing professional organizations.

Craig has been named a Pennsylvania Super Lawyer for four consecutive years (2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007) in the area of Medical Malpractice-Personal Injury defense and has been named to The Best Lawyers in America, 2010.

Craig is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, the American Board of Trial Advocates, and the Federation of Insurance Counsel.
