Medical Malpractice (Health)

It is the goal of Woods Rogers in each malpractice case it is retained to defend to reach an appropriate result as soon as practical, whether through trial or alternative resolution, in an efficient manner placing first and foremost the defenses available and the interests of the professional. In achieving the goal in a case, the health care provider is an integral participant in developing and carrying out the case plan. Woods Rogers defends physicians, hospitals, nurses, nursing homes and health care technicians. The firm undertakes to match the health care provider with the Woods Rogers lawyer appropriate to handle the case brought, both as to the practice area of health care provider and the nature of alleged injury with the attendant elements of damages sought.

Our lawyers have practiced in the medical malpractice field for many years and have had extensive practice in the defense of personal injury litigation in both state and federal courts throughout Southside and Southwestern Virginia.

Woods Rogers recognizes that cases brought against professionals involve much more for the professionals than the handling of the cases in Court. There are many considerations in the preparation and presentation of a malpractice case that require individual attention, special consideration in the work up of the case for the professional, and attention to the professional’s ongoing practice so that defending a case does not become a distraction that interferes with patient care.

The lawyers at Woods Rogers all understand the significance to a healthcare provider of a claim asserted against a professional accusing the professional of negligence. Physicians, nurses, and technicians have dedicated themselves to the treatment of patients and are engaged in practices that benefit the communities in which the professionals live. Institutions act through their professionals and the individuals affiliated with a hospital, clinic, or nursing home accused of negligence receive the same representation from Woods Rogers and the individual professional accused of negligence.

Woods Rogers understands the importance of the high quality of health care, which is provided to the people living in Southside and Southwestern Virginia, to the overall health and standard of living the region enjoys. Woods Rogers offers its services to these professionals when the need is presented.
