Litigation: Medical Malpractice Defense

Friday, Eldredge & Clark, LLP has some of the most experienced trial lawyers in the state who represent its clients on both a regional and national basis. The firm has represented individuals and businesses in a wide array of disputes. Major practice areas include: Personal injury defense, professional malpractice defense, commercial litigation, railroad litigation, worker's compensation and class actions.

Business, general and commercial litigation are regularly called upon to handle bet-the-company litigation with key clients. In addition, these groups have longstanding engagements to handle matters for the largest insurance companies in the United States that insure many of those companies. The members of these practice groups are also the go-to law firm for matters related to the defense of class actions, lender liability cases, and antitrust claims. 

Lawyers in the Medical Malpractice group represent doctors, nurses and hospitals around the state in medical malpractice cases, which, because of their nature, are not publishable.  There are no liability limits in this jurisdiction, so it is not uncommon for these cases to have high potential value.  Malpractice cases in Arkansas are still regularly tried to a jury. Therefore these lawyers have more experience than some in the courtroom.  This group is also actively engaged in key roles defending the manufacturers of various medical devices in national products litigation.
