Medical Malpractice Defense
Vandeventer Black’s Medical Malpractice Defense team addresses some of the most complex cases imaginable. Our clients include physicians, dentists, physical therapists and other healthcare providers as well as practice groups, long-term care facilities and hospitals. Our relationships working with insurance carriers streamline the process for providers, allowing them the opportunity to do what they do best – practice medicine.
Our experience defending the spectrum of healthcare providers gives clients a unique vantage point in addressing malpractice claims. We are seasoned in defending negligence, wrongful death, informed consent, contributory negligence, and unavoidable risks, as well as any other issues that might arise.
Vandeventer Black’s Medical Malpractice Defense team represents clients in state and federal courts in Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. We are seasoned mediators and arbitrators. We also represent health care professionals in disciplinary reviews, privileging and credentialing disputes, and Medicare and state regulatory investigations.
As the population ages, the number and scope of issues involving the elderly has grown. We represent one of the nation’s largest rehabilitative and long-term care organizations, as well as physicians, nurses, therapists and other providers in this rapidly expanding field.
Just as providers practice preventive medicine, Vandeventer Black prides itself in practicing preventive law. We are available to educate staff on appropriate record-keeping to avoid law suits and legal trends related to health care as well as other risk management issues. Because of Vandeventer Black’s depth and experience in malpractice defense, we are comfortable counseling clients regarding early settlements for meritorious cases as well as questionable claims that call for trial defense.
