Medical/Professional Negligence

Walton Lantaff maintains an established medical and professional liability defense practice representing healthcare providers, healthcare organizations, and other licensed professionals in complex litigation and administrative proceedings. The firm’s clients include hospitals, nursing homes, physicians, dentists, pharmacists, chiropractors, managed care entities, and other healthcare professionals.  

These cases involve allegations of medical negligence, professional malpractice, treatment errors, regulatory violations, professional misjudgments and other disputes arising from the delivery of professional services, resulting in injury, financial loss, or other damages. Successful defense of these matters requires a comprehensive understanding of liability and causation, industry practices, professional standards of care, administrative regulations, and careful analysis of technical records and expert opinions that frequently shape the outcome of professional liability disputes. 

In addition to defending civil actions in state and federal courts, Walton Lantaff offers experienced representation of clients in mediations, arbitrations, licensing investigations, and administrative hearings before professional regulatory bodies such as the Department of Professional Regulation. 

Combining disciplined advocacy, industry-specific knowledge and a thorough understanding of liability exposure, Walton Lantaff helps clients protect their professional standing, reputations, and long-term interests.
