Malpractice Lawsuit

A malpractice lawsuit can be filed in the legal or medical industries. At Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P. (SHB), the most common malpractice lawsuit filed revolves around a medical or pharmaceutical provider. An excellent choice for you and your organization, we have a long history defending major corporations in malpractice lawsuits.

A medical malpractice lawsuit can be filed against hospitals, doctors, surgeons, care givers or related healthcare staff whose services resulted in additional sickness, injury or death. Typically, a medical malpractice lawsuit involves misdiagnosis, prescription errors, surgery mistakes, elder care negligence or birth problems.

These lawsuits are designed to hold professionals accountable while securing appropriate compensation for losses and suffering. Since a Statute of Limitations may apply to a malpractice lawsuit, the plaintiff will likely file a complaint very soon after the incident occurs.

A malpractice lawsuit is time-intensive because of the amount of discovery that must be handled, as well as the key experts that often contribute to the case. More often than not, a malpractice lawsuit will result in litigation instead of being settled out of court.
