Aggressive Defense of Medical Professionals

Friedman attorneys have regularly defended physicians, clinics, hospitals, and other medical professionals for many years, before and after the inception of the firm. This includes a wide range of specialties, from family practice, urgent care centers, asthma and allergy specialists, and emergency medicine physicians to surgical specialties including orthopedics, otolaryngology, obstetrics and gynecology, neurology, neurosurgery, and general surgery. We have obtained summary judgments or dismissals of the majority of lawsuits filed without the payment of any settlement or reporting to the National Practitioners Data Bank, including claims of wrongful death and paraplegia. Friedman attorneys have also represented physicians facing complaints or investigation before the Alabama State Board of Medical Examiners.
