Medical Malpractice
FSB has more experienced medical malpractice/hospital liability defense lawyers than any other firm in the State of West Virginia. These attorneys have tried more medical malpractice/hospital liability cases on behalf of West Virginia hospitals and doctors than any other law firm in the State of West Virginia. These attorneys have successfully defended doctors and hospitals in virtually every county in West Virginia from our offices in Morgantown, Wheeling and Charleston. Not only have these attorneys tried more medical malpractice/hospital liability cases than any other lawyers in West Virginia, they have won more cases than any other lawyers in West Virginia with a winning percentage in excess of 85%.
These attorneys and their staff which includes nurse consultants and paralegals retained in the defense of medical malpractice/hospital liability cases have used their trial experience and aggressive defense reputation to obtain outstanding results for their clients, West Virginia hospitals and doctors. The outstanding trial record has resulted in over two thirds of the cases brought against doctors and hospitals defended by FSB being dismissed without any payment, either through defense verdict or dismissal, and has enabled the FSB attorneys to settle those cases which need to be settled more reasonably.
In addition to a highly trained, experienced and dedicated team of attorneys, nurses and paralegals defending West Virginia doctors and hospitals, FSB has also accumulated a large medical library, including medical research on hundreds of medical malpractice topics which can be utilized at a cost effective advantage for its clients, as well as a computerized expert bank which contains substantial research and information on opposing experts including testimony in past trials across the country, medical licensing board information, information regarding lawsuit participation and other important data for cross-examination of opposing experts. FSB provides all this cost effective representation to its medical malpractice/hospital liability clients and maintains close communications with its client to insure that short-term litigation concerns are appropriately balanced with the client’s long-term business goals.
