Medical Malpractice Defense

If you are a medical malpractice insurer, or a physician or other health care professional accused of professional negligence, you owe it to yourself to speak with an experienced medical malpractice attorney at Engle Carobini Covner & Coats LLP.

We specialize in representing medical professionals accused of medical malpractice and use our years of experience to defend medical malpractice lawsuits. Our experienced trial lawyers defend doctors, nurses, pharmacists, dentists and other health care professionals as well as hospitals, medical practices, and nursing care facilitates facing allegations such as surgical error, birth injury, medication error, failure to diagnose, or wrongful death.

Defending a medical malpractice case hinges on establishing that the complaining party cannot prove to a greater than fifty percent likelihood that the medical professional or facility failed to perform its duties at or above the applicable standard of care, or that a failure to do so caused harm. Defending medical negligence claims requires consultation with a variety of experts on medical standards of care and causation. At Engle Carobini Covner & Coats LLP, we will consult with highly qualified experts when evaluating your case and preparing your case for trial.

Working with insurance companies on behalf of health care professionals, we will evaluate the claim to help the insurer and the insured to determine the most favorable course of action. Once a decision is made about how best to proceed, we will defend the litigation through trial, or seek to negotiate an appropriate settlement. Whether you are a physician, RN, LPN, CNA, physical therapist, dentist, or other healthcare provider, you have the right to protection from the heavy damage a medical malpractice claim can do to your professional reputation, job prospects, insurance rates, and personal assets.
