Medical Professional Liability Practice Group Goldberg Segalla's Medical Professional Liability Practice Group is currently comprised of 13 attorneys who have tried over 90 medical professional liability cases to verdict, achieving successful jury verdicts in the most difficult and complex cases throughout all state and federal venues of Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. We pride ourselves in achieving early dismissals of matters at the earliest stages of litigation in an effort to mitigate the emotional and financial burden of defending medical malpractice lawsuits. In fact, we have not only succeeded in obtaining significant pre-trial dismissals of clients in well over 150 cases, we have also set the bar in creating precedential case law at both state and federal levels on issues regarding the standards for discoverability of protected records, vicarious liability for a hospital to its independent contractor physician groups, res ipsa jury instruction in a retained surgical sponge case and whether informed consent has been obtained prior to a surgical procedure. At Goldberg Segalla, quality counts. Our medical professional liability team is experienced at providing an aggressive defense through highly skilled litigators who are in court on a daily basis. Unique to Goldberg Segalla, our Medical Professional Liability team includes three nurse-attorneys with a combined total of over 40 years of clinical hospital experience in adult and pediatric medicine in a wide range of subspecialties of acute and long term care, from the emergency department to the surgical suite and as a former hospital administrator. Our nurse attorneys have backgrounds in both clinical and administrative nursing and provide expertise that is invaluable to the most complex matters. Not only do we know the law, we also know the medicine - and we teach the interplay at conferences throughout the country to national audiences of attorneys as well as physicians and physician groups. In addition, our partnership is a pioneer at electronic discovery and the implications for medical record protection. Our attorneys have authored seminal texts on topics from e-discovery to litigation technique. The scope of our representation speaks to the depth of our expertise. Our Medical Professional Liability team has represented over 85 hospitals and health systems for matters involving professional medical care litigation, consultation regarding IRB issues, professional State Board actions, peer review matters and computerized medical records retention and planning. We are dedicated to the cost efficient representation that best suits our clients. We are experienced at quality representation in all areas of medical professional liability and can bring that expertise to you.
