Interdisciplinary Group

Over the past 25 years, medical malpractice has become one of the most intense and complex forms of litigation, with investigations by the parties often beginning long before formal litigation commences. Orr & Reno has developed a robust infrastructure for medical malpractice work, including the services of a nurse paralegal, an up-to-date medical library and on-line subscriptions, and various courtroom technological aids. We work closely with our health care clients from the beginning of the investigative process, advising on potential claims before suits are filed, through jury verdicts and appeals.

Our medical malpractice attorneys for 40 years have represented physicians, hospitals and medical centers, group practices, nursing homes, home health providers, managed care organizations and other healthcare providers in all areas of medical malpractice defense.

In addition to defending clients in litigation, the attorneys in this practice area are committed to educational support of medical institutions and physicians by providing sophisticated risk management counseling to avoid potential litigation, and frequent educational seminars and lectures.

Examples of the types of specialties at issue in the cases our medical malpractice attorneys have defended include:

• anesthesiology
• cardiology
• general medicine
• genetic counseling
• infection control
• neurology
• obstetrics and gynecology
• oncology
• on-site injuries (falls, etc.)
• pathology
• psychiatry
• radiology
• surgery, including neurosurgery, cardiac, orthopedic, general and oral
• urology
