Medical Malpractice (Health)

In each medical malpractice case we defend, our goal at Woods Rogers is to reach an appropriate result as soon as practical, whether through our effective pre-trial motions practice, trial, mediation or other alternative resolution. Our attorneys ensure that first and foremost, the interests of our clients, the medical professionals, are protected. Woods Rogers defends Virginia physicians, hospitals, nurses, nursing homes and other health care providers of every clinical and professional background.

Our attorneys have decades of combined experience in defending medical malpractice claims and extensive practice in defending personal injury and wrongful death actions in state and federal courts throughout Virginia. We defend medical malpractice actions through trial and appeal. Our expertise in each aspect of this complex area of the law is a valuable asset to each client.

Woods Rogers recognizes that cases brought against medical professionals involve significant stakes for each professional, both personally and professionally. We involve our clients in the process of defending claims and ensure that each is fully informed about the litigation process. We appreciate that many considerations must be weighed in the preparation and presentation of a medical malpractice case. This requires individual attention and special consideration to all aspects of a case, with particular attention paid to our client health care provider’s ongoing practice, ensuring that the defense of a claim does not become a distraction that interferes with patient care.

Physicians, nurses, and other health care providers have dedicated themselves to treating patients. They are engaged in practices that benefit the communities in which they live. We understand that institutions act through their individual employees. Woods Rogers provides the employees of a hospital, clinic, nursing home or other entity named in a lawsuit and accused of malpractice the same effective, comprehensive level of representation that an individual provider accused of negligence would receive.

Woods Rogers has significant and wide-ranging resources with offices in Roanoke, Danville, Richmond and Charlottesville. This allows us to provide broad geographic coverage within Virginia. When Woods Rogers represents a medical professional or health care entity, that client enjoys the benefit of a dedicated team of professionals, which includes a partner and associate assigned to each case, as well as paralegals specifically trained to assist in handling medical malpractice matters.

Woods Rogers is proud to offer our services to the dedicated medical professionals who deliver high quality health care and contribute significantly to the quality of life we enjoy.
