Medical Malpractice Attorney

When something goes wrong with a medical diagnosis or treatment, a patient often feels a lawsuit is the next logical step. At Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P. (SHB), each medical malpractice attorney on staff is highly skilled in defending our clients against valid—and inflated—claims of medical malpractice.

Attorney selection at SHB is exceptional. We recruit the top legal minds to work in our Health Law and Pharmaceutical & Medical Device practices. As an international law firm with offices across the United States and in Europe, every medical malpractice attorney in our firm has access to leading edge defense strategies and resources from our approximately 1,500 employees.

Thanks to our extensive experience in this growing industry, every SHB medical malpractice attorney uniquely understands the complex business, regulatory and litigation issues facing health care providers. Our medical malpractice attorneys represent academic medical centers, health systems, continuing-care retirement communities, home health agencies, HMOs, medical staffs, ambulatory surgical centers, and individual medical practitioners in compliance and HIPAA matters; criminal investigations, enforcement actions and civil litigation; and a variety of corporate transactions.

The typical SHB medical malpractice attorney also is proficient in securities law; public and private financing; antitrust compliance; labor and employment law; real estate; and all phases of court proceedings. Our ability to draw on these many areas of expertise make the defense strategies we develop advantageous to our clients. We also realize the expense associated with medical malpractice litigation, and we work hard to avoid putting our clients through expensive and often emotional litigation.

It’s important for the layperson to understand that if something goes awry during a medical procedure or treatment, it's not always grounds for a lawsuit. If you think you have a patient that believes he or she has been mistreated, visit with a medical malpractice attorney at SHB. Contact us today to learn more.
