Medical malpractice defense

Dedicated to protecting medical professionals

The number of medical malpractice litigation cases in Romania is growing exponentially. This trend can be explained by the collapsing Romanian healthcare system, characterised by poor conditions in hospitals, a lack of medical personnel, and the exodus of doctors abroad. The increase in the number of medical malpractice suits is also due to several highly publicised cases of doctors being accused of conducting unauthorised medical experiments on patients, mainly children.

Being accused of medical malpractice is a traumatizing experience for health care professionals, striking at what is usually the most vulnerable time of their lives. As our client, you’ll find we stand by your side, help you embrace challenges and walk you through the complexities of the legal system. We take great pride in helping to restore your life so that you can move forward focusing on your true calling of helping patients.

When warranted by the circumstances of the case, we complement our proven trial capabilities with experience in alternative dispute resolution approaches, including mediation and arbitration before College of Physicians in Romania (RO – Colegiul Medicilor din Romania). We always seek to provide solutions most appropriate to each client's personal objectives and priorities.
