PRACTICE AREAS  » MEDICAL MALPRACTICE AND HEALTH CARE  
     
   At Melick, Porter & Shea, the last few years has seen tremendous growth and expansion of our long-standing Health Care Practice Group.  With the recent addition to the group of several, experienced, senior trial attorneys who concentrate their practice in the defense of medical professionals and institutions, our work in this area has grown significantly.  Our attorneys defend physicians, dentists, nurses, therapists, hospitals, nursing homes and other medical professionals and institutions against allegations ranging from medical malpractice and professional misconduct to cases of alleged discriminatory or other  workplace-related behavior.  Our office defended through appeal one of the leading Peer Review Privilege cases in Massachusetts .   We have successfully represented clients in matters involving the ethical treatment of patients in end-of-life situations.  We routinely represent medical professionals before their respective Boards of Registration on credentialing and disciplinary matters.

   The Health Care Practice Group at Melick, Porter & Shea understands that the successful defense of medical malpractice actions require comprehensive investigation, thorough preparation and compelling presentation.  Our attorneys are continually expanding and upgrading their medical and trial knowledge.  We routinely employ cutting-edge medical technology, digital imaging, graphic illustrations and animations at trial with the assistance of top consultants to produce the best possible results for our clients.  Similarly, in light of the increasingly pro-active approach of state disciplinary agencies in investigating complaints against healthcare professionals, our experience in these matters and our reputation with these agencies give our clients an edge in exonerating themselves or in reaching an acceptable accord.

   We also understand and promote the use of strong risk management tools to help combat future claims for our clients.  Our attorneys regularly counsel medical providers and  administrators on the best methods of preventing litigation while exercising sound medical judgment. We have also been active in providing training and other seminars for our clients, their management and/or employees on such diverse areas as workplace discrimination, HIPAA compliance and sexual harassment.
