Healthcare Malpractice

Healthcare Malpractice Defense

Allegations of malpractice in any area of healthcare can have serious consequences for the individuals and entities involved. Barker, Leon & Fancher, LLP fully understands the severity of allegations lodged against a healthcare professional. We vigorously defend these cases because a lot is at stake. Our firm defends professionals in the healthcare industry such as physicians, surgeons, emergency room doctors, dentists, nurses, nursing home care providers, and others against claims of malpractice.

We thoroughly investigate allegations of malpractice as well as build a strong defense with medical experts recognized as leaders in their area of specialty. We appreciate that merely an allegation against one of these professionals can harm an individual's reputation and livelihood. The lawyers at Barker, Leon & Fancher, LLP take these type of claims very seriously.

Hospital Malpractice Defense

The relationships between doctors and the hospitals in which they work are unique. Doctors are contract professionals and not employees of the hospital. When an allegation of medical negligence is lodged, our job is to thoroughly investigate both the medical issues involved as well as the liability facts involving the parties. The representation that we offer is comprehensive and deals with such matters as failure to diagnose, delayed diagnosis, medical errors, surgical errors, slip and falls while under the hospital's care, birth injuries, inappropriate sexual contact and other issues. Representing a major hospital is a privilege. We are mindful that hospitals are held at high esteem by the community and we, as attorneys, must be good stewards in our representation of the hospital.

Nursing Home Malpractice Defense

Our attorneys defend claims arising in nursing homes for abuse and neglect. We have successfully defended claims such as trip and falls, dehydration, malnutrition, medication errors, sexual assault by other patients, and decubitus ulcers (bed sores), as well as mental and physical abuse.
