Brinson, Askew, Berry, Seigler, Richardson & Davis, LLP represents various medical institutions and facilities, including hospitals and nursing homes. We also represent insurance carriers and professionals including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, and other professionals against allegations of negligence. Further, we defend professionals threatened with disciplinary action before their respective licensing boards.
The Firm understands that medical malpractice claims have practically become part of the cost of doing business, and as with any other cost, should be strategically minimized. However, unlike other business expenses, even unjustified claims can do serious damage to the professional reputation of an institution or individual. We assist our clients in assessing the potential risks of litigation to determine the comparative value of settlement, arbitration, or other forms of dispute resolution. We also tailor our discovery and litigation tactics to the risk of the litigation, whether it is a bet-the-company case or a more minor matter.
Medical malpractice allegations often arise because patients are dissatisfied with their medical treatment, rather than because of a failure to observe a professional standard of medical care. We fight aggressively to defend your reputation, including negotiating for advantageous protective orders in the initial stages of litigation. We are also experienced in limiting liability when legitimate claims do arise.
Because medical malpractice claims can be highly emotionally charged--even where no wrong-doing was committed--it is crucial that medical information be presented carefully and straightforwardly. One of the greatest challenges in medical malpractice litigation is developing a comprehensive yet accessible evidentiary basis to defend your professional judgment. Medical malpractice claims frequently involve large bodies of sophisticated scientific knowledge and multiple expert witnesses. The mass of complex information can turn into a "forest for the trees" situation, where the big picture is lost because of the plethora of details. The outcome of these claims often turns on the attorneys' ability to present evidence in an understandable way. The attorneys of Brinson-Askew are experienced in utilizing the most cutting-edge courtroom technologies, handling large-scale document productions, and procuring credible expert testimony. Because we also handle plaintiffs' litigation, we are attuned to the strategies and emotional appeal of a sympathetic plaintiff and work hard to get you a just resolution.
