Our Professionals has a deep experience of medmal cases.
It is our philosophy to defend vigorously all non-meritorious claims. Equally important is our early identification of claims that represent some exposure to our clients, and our ability to determine the extent of that exposure. This determination frequently involves locating and identifying qualified physicians, nurses, and other health-care specialists who can provide expert testimony to defend against malpractice claims when a trial becomes necessary.
On the other hand we are also strong believers of settling meritorious claims under best possible terms and conditions. There are several “right times” in the handling of a claim to activate a negotiation effort and to pursue it. We are very attentive not to miss any of such opportunities.
We work with individual physicians, as well as risk managers for our institutional clients and assist them in minimizing exposure to malpractice claims. This involvement includes reviews of various policies and procedures and conducting risk management seminars.
In this sector, we assist insurers and reinsurers on:
- Litigation;
- Review of insurance policy wording;
- Risk assessment.
