Our commitment to the defense of professional liability claims, especially in the subspecialties of dental, chiropractic, podiatric, medical malpractice and legal malpractice, has made professional liability one of our thriving practice areas.
In the area of medical malpractice, Ford, Walker, Haggerty & Behar represents doctors, dentists, hospitals, chiropractors, podiatrists, ophthalmologists, physical therapists, nurses, dental hygienists and many other healthcare providers. We also represent doctors and dentists who are not covered by insurance or are facing disciplinary proceedings from the State Board. As a result of our success in these cases, doctors and dentists turn to our firm when faced with accusations that may affect their ability to practice within the state.
This wide professional liability exposure has familiarized us with every type of claim asserted by the plaintiffs. We work closely with well-respected expert witnesses. Although cost-effective resolution of every lawsuit is the goal, the firm has a wealth of trial experience should this step become necessary. Recognizing that professional liability cases are driven not only by legal and factual issues, but also by emotional factors, we are sensitive to the personal aspects of a professional liability claim.
