Physicians and Hospitals
Our attorneys have established strong relationships with highly credentialed and skilled experts in various medical specialties who help us develop effective defenses and make clear, compelling trial presentations. We are also adept at assisting our clients in managing and coordinating the disparate resources that are available for their defense, such as client reserves, insurance carriers, and governmental payors.
