Medical Malpractice Defense Group

It’s a significant issue for many doctors, hospitals, long term care facilities and other health care providers: medical malpractice liability. And, the concern is valid. According to the American Medical Association, approximately one of every six practicing physicians faces a medical liability claim every year. In high-risk specialties such as obstetrics, orthopedics, trauma surgery and neurosurgery, the rate is even higher. In addition to the increased number of malpractice claims, medical malpractice awards and in turn, malpractice insurance premiums continue to rise. Although safeguards exist in Indiana to limit the liability health care providers must bear, the weight is still considerable.

Now more than ever, doctors, hospitals, long term care facilities and other health care organizations need experienced legal counsel. The rising tide of malpractice lawsuits is not likely to let up any time soon, and only those who meet the challenges with hard-hitting defense attorneys can expect to be left standing in the end.

We understand the potentially explosive environment in which many of our clients work. To provide cost-effective legal services, we are available to conduct pre-litigation investigation of incidents and to provide risk assessment. Our attorneys will come to your health care facility to educate your staff on prevention of medical malpractice claims and offer practical steps to help defend against claims.

We are always willing to settle a matter prior to trial, but we also don’t shy away from litigation, if necessary. We understand that plaintiffs often turn to so-called “experts” who may manufacture a fraudulent medical malpractice claim. We help clients identify inaccuracies, and uncover research and qualified medical witnesses that will defend against such claims. Our extensive network of qualified medical consultants helps prepare medical chronologies and review medical records in order to structure a sound defense. If a case should require an appeal, our appellate experience runs deep. Our attorneys will help clients choose battles wisely and guide them through the appellate process.

We understand that medical liability is often highly complex. At Bose McKinney & Evans, our attorneys have the experience necessary to help you navigate the difficult and emotionally-charged environment surrounding medical malpractice defense.
