The firm's Medical Liability Defense Practice stresses communication, teamwork and efficiency. We understand the best possible results will only be achieved when the defense attorney, the Client/Insured and the claims specialist work together. Our attorneys emphasize early and aggressive intervention in an attempt to resolve claims as quickly as possible. We also appreciate the effectiveness and value of the mediation process as a possible means of avoiding litigation. Although we make every effort to resolve cases expeditiously and efficiently for our Clients, our team consists of experienced trial attorneys who have successfully conducted jury trials all over the State of Florida.
Communication is the Key
Our attorneys are available to provide seminars and educational materials when requested by hospitals, physician practice groups or insurance claims representatives, providing the most up-to-date information when it's needed most.
Our practice also incorporates the latest technical advances to ensure our legal services are delivered to our clients in the most cost-effective, timely and convenient manner possible. To ensure efficient service to our clients, we can employ - as a case requires - computerized document control systems to manage complex litigation, saving time in research (and saving our Clients money). We utilize systems for online document sharing and e-mail for information exchange. In the courtroom, we employ cutting-edge trial presentation technology, including PowerPoint, Sanction software, video and computer simulations in order to help communicate the Client's case to the fact-finder, whether jury, judge or arbitration panel.
We are also familiar with and abide by defense counsel guidelines. We employ an automated status report system which ensures our clients are advised of the status of a case as often as requested.
