Medical malpractice cases are some of the most complex cases to investigate, defend, and take to trial. The defense of physicians, resident physicians, physician extenders (physician’s assistants or nurse practitioners), nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and other allied health professionals is something to which each of our attorneys has dedicated their professional careers. In addition to the defense of individual health care providers, each and every one of our attorneys are well aware of the needs of institutional clients, such as hospitals, nursing homes, and large medical practices, and how to best represent them in a rapidly changing environment.
While litigation is an important part of representing medical professionals and medical institutions, equally important is that our attorneys are also prepared to offer advice on non-litigated matters. Whether it is reviewing a contract for services, reviewing a hospital policy for potential risk implications, offering in-services to employees, or explaining a new regulation or statute, our attorneys are prepared to give you every benefit our years of experience in these areas can offer.
All of our attorneys have extensive experience dealing with the various regulatory agencies who interact with health care providers and health care institutions. We are frequently sought out to guide individual health care providers and institutions through investigations involving the New York State Office of Professional Medical Conduct (“OPMC”), State Office of Professional Discipline (“OPD”), New York State Department of Health, the New York State Justice Center, and the New York State Office of Mental Health, among others.
