Professional Liability in Healthcare

For 35 years, the national attorneys at Chapman Law Group have been representing health professionals accused of negligence or malpractice. Each lawyer understands the difficult situation these accusations can present, and we work aggressively to prevent unfair and unjust outcomes.

Our primary goal is to protect your interests and limit the time and cost of medical malpractice litigation. Thoroughly understanding all facets of the complaint, including standard of care/practice, alleged breach, proximate cause and damages, gives each Chapman Law Group attorney the ability to take aggressive action and achieve desired results. Our extensive trial experience, use of technology and network of experts give us the right advantage.

Types of medical malpractice claims we address include:

• • Failure to diagnose
  • Failure to treat
  • Delayed diagnosis
  • Surgical negligence
  • Medication error

Our healthcare lawyers have earned a reputation across the U.S. for not just defending malpractice actions, but for wining and obtaining a “no cause” for cases involving:

• • Medical malpractice defense
  • Gross negligence
  • Wrongful death
  • Standard of care

Among our successful cases:

• • Standard of Care Not Breached in Fractured Leg Repair: We proved to a St. Clair County, Michigan, jury that our clients did not breach the standard of care during repair and treatment for plaintiff’s difficult fracture, nor did they cause damages or act negligently.
  • Verdict in Favor of Physician Sued for Failure to Treat: Our healthcare defense litigators successfully argued in federal court that plaintiff’s lack of medical testimony did not support the claim that his severe pain from inguinal hernia worsened as a result of a delay.
  • No-Cause in Claim That Pulmonary Fibrosis Worsened: In Lapeer County, Michigan, our medical malpractice attorneys refuted that Amiodarone exacerbated the patient’s pulmonary fibrosis or caused pulmonary toxicity.
  • Burden of Proof Not Met in Breast Augmentation Infection Claim: When plaintiff sued our surgeon clients in Macomb County, Michigan, we demonstrated to the jury no chain of causation between the alleged negligence (a sponge left in the patient’s body) and the claimed massive infection damages.
