Our firm also has vast experience representing local insurance companies, thus we have extensive experience in all aspects of insurance coverage disputes, contractual and extra-contractual liability issues as well.  Our vast insurance defense practice has given us the insight and expertise in dealing with insurance companies to get the best settlement agreements.  When insurance companies know they are dealing with knowledgeable attorneys and skilled negotiators, best results are usually achieved and most importantly a better settlement and usually a sooner pay-off. 

We have represented our most important hospitals around the Island in malpractice cases involving serious injuries and multi-million dollar exposures; also in health care professional misconduct cases. We have also represented general surgeons, spinal cord neurosurgeons, gastroenterologists, emergency doctors, physicians management groups operating the emergency rooms of hospitals, anesthesiologists and medical groups operating the anesthesiology department of hospitals, hospital employees, as well as other health care providers, in malpractice cases. Thus, we have accumulated a vast experience in medical malpractice and personal injury claims, which have resulted in the best representation of plaintiffs’ interests and the best terms in settlements.

In personal injury and medical malpractice cases, we use the most prestigious medical faculty caliber physicians, who have vast experience as negligence and/or damages expert witnesses at the federal court practically in all specialties, like cardiologists, gastroenterologists, general and orthopedic surgeons, physiatrists experts in sports medicine, pain management and rehabilitation, among others.

We also handle cases filed under the HIPAA federal law. As well as, cases filed against nursing homes, home health care attendants and the whole spectrum of health care providers for their alleged negligent actions.

Over the course of almost thirty years, we have successfully litigated and also settled in exceptionally beneficial terms many medical malpractice and personal injury cases, including rather complex ones at the federal court where jury trials are demanded and the defendants` economic exposure is usually higher.

Our firm has a sound compromise with the excellence in the practice of Law and also with the aggressive defense of our clients` interests.  Positive results is our quest!  We strive to accomplish our goal to give our clients the best legal representation available!
