Defending Nurse Practitioners

In medical malpractice and professional negligence cases, nurse practitioners (NP) are often named as defendants along with physicians, nurses and health care facilities. Even if a nurse practitioner has done nothing wrong, the patients or patients’ families who are unhappy with a medical outcome may blame the NP anyway. In these cases, it is vital for the NP to protect his or her professional reputation and for the NP and his or her malpractice carrier to limit financial exposure.

We are familiar with the local courts and medical communities throughout the entire region, making us effective advocates in malpractice defense cases and all other insurance defense matters.
