Lashly & Baer, P.C.

One of the biggest threats to the health of a hospital, private practice or other health care provider is a malpractice suit. Medical malpractice defense is a core component of the professional liability defense practice at Lashly & Baer, P.C. We successfully represent hospitals, nursing homes, physicians, dentists and nurses in a wide variety of health care malpractice actions. And we’ve been doing it for over 30 years.

As a result of our experience, we are sensitive to the unique stresses and concerns that a malpractice claim imposes on the health care provider.
