Medical Malpractice Defense
The attorneys in our Medical Malpractice Defense group are highly specialized and experienced in the defense of medical professionals and hospitals. Few firms in the area have been involved in the defense of health care providers for as long as, and to the extent of, Damon Morey. In addition, a number of our attorneys are involved on a regular basis in representing physicians and nurses in connection with disciplinary proceedings. Regardless of the capacity in which we are called upon to represent medical providers, we provide representation that is of the highest legal caliber, while at the same time recognizing the stress imposed upon our clients as a result of their involvement in these proceedings. Our attorneys make themselves available to answer questions whenever they arise, because we understand that providing counsel to the individuals that we represent is often as important as the advocacy that we provide in the courtroom.
Some of our attorneys practiced as registered nurses prior to becoming attorneys, and each of the paralegals employed in the Medical Malpractice group are registered nurses, some with advanced degrees. Our nurses provide valuable insight in reviewing and analyzing medical records, and are also very valuable in locating experts with the credentials and skills that are often crucial to successfully defending a malpractice claim.
Risk management is also an essential element of our practice. Our health care attorneys regularly counsel hospital administrators and medical groups concerning the best methods of preventing litigation while exercising their judgment in the best interests of patient care.
Although we work to avoid litigation whenever possible, our trial attorneys are highly skilled, aggressive and have long been recognized both in the legal and medical communities. Because of these attributes, our medical malpractice defense attorneys have been highly successful. When a matter requires settlement negotiations, our reputation conveys to our adversaries that our attorneys stand ready to go to trial if an equitable settlement cannot be reached.
