Medical Malpractice and Negligence Defense |  | |
McAfee & Taft attorneys have represented physicians, hospitals, long-term care and assisted living centers, and medical and dental professionals against claims of malpractice and negligence, including those involving standard of care claims, negligence in peer review and negligent credentialing claims, misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose claims, and bad faith issues.
We understand that rising malpractice claims not only ultimately contribute to increased healthcare costs; they can also exact a significant personal toll on healthcare providers by threatening reputations and careers and disrupting business operations. With so much at stake, and with medical malpractice and negligence settlements and judgments at an all-time high, the need for high quality, efficient legal representation has never been greater.
Our medical malpractice and negligence defense practice is unique in that capitalizes on two of the firm’s proven areas of strengths – its extensive collective knowledge and insight into the specific legal and business challenges facing the healthcare industry and its significant litigation experience defending a broad range of complex negligence and liability lawsuits.
Over the years, McAfee & Taft attorneys have defended hundreds of mass torts, toxic torts, products liability, malpractice and negligence cases involving claims of serious injury and death, and we have developed particular skill in dealing with the unique challenges of lawsuits that often include emotionally-charged plaintiffs, generally sympathetic juries, sensitive personal and medical issues, and countless expert witnesses.
