Defending Hospitals, Doctors, Nurses And Health Care Professionals Facing A Malpractice Case
You have devoted your career to helping people, and you feel that your medical profession is more of a calling than a job. You strive to bring healing and hope to your patients, and do your best for them each and every day. However, now you are facing a malpractice lawsuit and the stress and emotional strain that comes with it. The attorneys at Doyle Schafer McMahon, LLP understand what you are going through, and we special in the representation of doctors. We can help you get through this situation, and will be your advocate in protecting your reputation. As you begin this journey, here are some tips to help you process the months to come:
- Regardless of the situation, try to not take a malpractice claim personally. We know that this is easier said than done, but remember that dissatisfied patients sometimes express their personal frustrations through frivolous lawsuits. This is certainly not fair, but you will better navigate this situation if you focus on your professional performance.
- Understand that this situation may take a very long time to come to a final conclusion. Litigation, especially in malpractice defense cases or HIPPA cases, is a drawn-out process governed by very extensive rules and procedures. We know that you want to move on with your life and put this behind you as soon as possible, but accept that it will take time.
- Let us be your advocate. As medical license defense attorneys, we will handle all of the research, depositions, and fact-finding. As frustrated as you feel, do not discuss the case with others, including coworkers.
- Do not be afraid to ask questions. We are on your side, and want you to have all of the information you need to feel confident in this process.
- If you find yourself struggling mentally or emotionally, get the support you need. Malpractice claims create a unique kind of trauma that is very real for the accused health care professional.
