Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice cases are inherently complex, requiring a thorough understanding of both legal and medical issues. Smith Sconzert brings the experience, resources and strategic insight necessary to aggressively defend claims against healthcare providers. We work closely with clients to develop an effective and efficient defense strategy that is as unique as the underlying claim, and tells the story of the provider through their lens.
Smith Sconzert is experienced in navigating the medical review panel process, lawsuits for qualified and non-qualified participating providers with the Louisiana Patient Compensation Fund (PCF) and resolving credentialing and licensing issues before peer review and state licensure boards.
