Medical Malpractice

A highly specialized area of defense litigation such as medical malpractice demands highly skilled attorneys to tackle its weighty issues and navigate the difficult terrain of litigation stemming from injuries received in the court of medical treatment.  The constantly evolving practice of medicine demands that a firm in this area continue to educate its attorneys to meet the challenges of complex litigation.  OKH&C does just that.   Not only do our medical malpractice litigators vigorously defend health care providers (physicians, nurses, therapists, rehabilitation facilities, and hospitals) in state and federal courts where they have been sued, but they also represent health care providers before state health related boards in matters involving discipline and licensure. Tom Corts, Wendy Longmire and Julie Peak have worked diligently to develop an excellent reputation in this area and to earn the respect of the Bench and Bar as a diligent defense team.  Representative clients trusting OKH&C in this unique area of practice include, but are not limited to:  HealthSouth, Medical Protective, State Volunteer Mutual Insurance Company, and Vanderbilt Stallworth.
