Medical Malpractice
Smith Freed & Eberhard has an experienced team of medical malpractice defense attorneys who represent physicians, dentists, hospitals, nursing homes and other health care providers. Our team of experienced trial lawyers have successfully taken many medical malpractice claims to defense verdicts in both state and federal courts. We also play significant roles in investigating potential claims before suit is filed and, when appropriate, using arbitration, mediation and other means of dispute resolution to resolve lawsuits short of an actual trial. In addition, our attorneys have many years of experience in the representation of health care professionals before the various licensing boards in Oregon and Washington.
We understand that being named as a defendant in a case of alleged medical negligence is a stressful event for any health care provider, and our attorneys work to minimize that stress by making sure that our clients are fully informed about the progress of the case, that their questions are promptly answered, and when the time comes for them to testify, we make sure that they are fully prepared for the exigencies of trial.
