Long-Term Care Malpractice

Our years of experience in defending long-term care cases to resolution, dismissal or, when necessary, verdict provide our clients with a solid and strategic support structure for the volume of litigated long-term care cases.

The issues faced by defendants in these cases can be successfully managed with thoughtful early planning.  When the agreed-upon plan necessitates an aggressive defense to trial, our team has the experience and ability to take these cases to successful verdict.

Defending a long-term care case can be challenging.  Awards of fees under our legal framework, challenging factual scenarios, and the concerns generated by active media and public perception are very real issues for the defense team.

Early assessment of these claims is financially and strategically essential to our clients in this industry. Our network of consultants combined with our creative strategies is related to all aspects of the case and allows us to recommend plans of action in cases where, often, the odds seem stacked against the defense.
