Health Care Liability - Medical Malpractice Defense

The firm represents individual physicians, dentists, oral surgeons, registered nurses, certified registered nurse anesthetists, midwives, psychologists, podiatrists, chiropractors, and other health care providers throughout the jurisdictions of Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Ohio, Florida, and New York. For a number of years, our firm has represented the Pennsylvania Medical Professional Liability Catastrophic Loss Fund in Section 605 cases. Members of the firm also represent numerous hospitals and other health care institutions, including surgical centers and health clinics.  This practice group includes lawyers who concentrate a substantial portion of their practice in the defense of matters involving dentists and long term care facilities.

The attorneys in our practice group have handled virtually every type of medical malpractice claim, ranging from:

• Transplant 
• Emergency department
• OB/GYN
• Pedicle Screw
• Breast implant

One of our members tried the first cardiac transplant case in Pennsylvania to a defense verdict. Attorneys in the practice group have handled credentialing issues, licensing issues, and have dealt with investigations involving governmental agencies.

One of the major strengths of our practice group is our ability to handle matters in a multitude of venues and in six states. The firm's nine offices in Pennsylvania; four in Florida; two in New Jersey; two in New York; and one each in Delaware and Ohio enable us to provide coverage throughout these states.

Our firm understands and appreciates the concerns of clients regarding legal fees and costs. Our firm's top management has roots in the claims industry and, therefore, we have always been extremely sensitive to our clients' desire to control expenses. Our multi-office network is just one example of the efforts we have undertaken to accomplish this goal. We are also always willing to discuss alternative billing arrangements which best serve the needs and wishes of our clients.

We provide a team of highly experienced trial attorneys in the field of health care liability claims. We make it our business to find out early in the litigation exactly what our clients wish to accomplish. While we do not hesitate to try those cases which must be tried, we will recommend early resolution of cases when it is in our client's best interest.

As part of our service to our clients, we frequently make ourselves available to give lectures, seminars, or other presentations on issues of mutual concern.

We strongly believe that our firm affords clients a unique blend of dedication, geographical coverage and cost-effectiveness in the field of health care liability. We would be privileged to work with you in handling your health care liability litigation matters.

We serve clients in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Ft. Lauderdale, and communities throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, Florida, and New York.
