Medical Malpractice

At Chartwell Law, our attorneys understand the complex situations that can sometimes expose health care professionals to claims against them for damages on alleged failures to meet their patients’ expectations or performance standards within their medical fields. We also understand our clients have more at stake than just financial losses and we are sensitive to the impact that claims of malpractice have on our clients’ ongoing practice and well-earned reputations.

Chartwell Law’s litigation attorneys assist clients in managing risk and defending all types of malpractice claims. Our attorneys also handle matters involving state and federal agencies, as well as boards, licensing, and other disputes affecting health care providers. Our attorneys are knowledgeable of the rules and regulations governing professionals and skilled in zealously defending our clients against claims of malpractice and professional liability.

We represent doctors, physician groups, hospitals, and other health care providers in medical review panel proceedings, jury trials, bench trials, and mediations in state and federal court.  We also represent boat and yacht owners, cruise lines, and shipboard medical personnel in claims involving negligence or failure to evacuate.

Our attorneys handle cases from inception to resolution. We develop a litigation strategy focused on resolving a case based on our client’s business and legal goals, in a favorable, efficient, and cost-effective manner. Our attorneys work closely with their clients and maintain open and meaningful lines of communication, at all times, to ensure positive outcomes. At Chartwell Law, we provide cost-effective legal advice and representation and strive to resolve matters efficiently and swiftly. However, when litigation cannot be avoided, we are well-equipped and determined to successfully defend our clients.
