Medical Malpractice Lawyer

If your company provides medical services of any kind to the community, one of your first orders of business should be to recruit a knowledgeable medical malpractice lawyer. Even though you likely have insurance to help cover such a claim, it is your responsibility to be prepared for an accusation to surface. Partnering with Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P. (SHB) will ensure you are prepared if the unfortunate day comes when you need the services of a medical malpractice lawyer.

SHB combines the experience of each medical malpractice lawyer on staff with the extensive resources that come from an international law firm such as SHB. With offices across the United States and in Europe, as well as partnerships throughout the world, each medical malpractice lawyer has access to a number of case files and decisions that help shape future defense strategies.

A medical malpractice lawyer may be called upon for a variety of issues, including the following:

• Misdiagnosis by a physician or corporation
• Mistreatment by a physician or corporation
• Improper treatment by a medical device

Pharmaceutical malpractice cases tend to be very high profile, and we have a great deal of experience in this spotlight. SHB has successfully defended pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers in products liability and other high-stakes litigation for over 35 years. In the 1970s, Eli Lilly and Co. engaged SHB as regional counsel and later as national co-counsel in cases involving oral contraceptives and the DPT vaccine. Today, we represent more than 30 pharmaceutical and medical device parent companies and their subsidiaries in products liability, antitrust, employment, environmental, commercial, and intellectual property litigation. We employ more than 100 medical malpractice attorneys dedicated to the unique needs and challenges of this industry.
