Medical Malpractice

As a health care professional or representative of a medical facility, you work hard to provide restorative and life-giving services that are focused on improving the health and well-being of your patients. Yet, sometimes, despite the best medical care, you are forced to defend yourself and your profession in a court of law. At Coots, Henke & Wheeler, our medical malpractice defense attorneys are dedicated to working closely with health care providers to provide the best possible representation. Medical professionals and insurance companies rely on us for high-quality representation in the defense of complex medical negligence claims and expect us to remain on the cutting edge of technology. With the capability to submit electronic billing using a variety of billing formats, we successfully defend medical professionals efficiently and with the highest degree of professionalism.

Representing health care providers in complex medical cases requires a deep understanding of medical issues. In addition to our years of experience handling medical malpractice defense claims, we have extensive contacts in the medical community and maintain an abundant expert witness database. We work with excellent medical experts and are able to find the right expert to assist with each case. Our attorneys have handled the most serious of cases involving matters of law and medicine, including those involving high exposure and catastrophic injuries such as:

  • Hospital negligence
  • Birth trauma
  • Emergency medicine errors
  • Failure to diagnose/misdiagnosis
  • Surgical errors
  • Anesthesia errors
  • Neurological injuries

As with all of our litigation matters, prompt personal attention to each case is a cornerstone to our practice. Our representation often begins within minutes after a sentinel event occurs by advising clients on the preservation of evidence and medical records and continues through the final appeals process.
