The Physician-Attorney Advantage in Medical Negligence Claims

Medical negligence lawsuits are notoriously complex, demanding deep clinical knowledge to uncover how medical protocols were breached. Before practicing law full-time, Dr. Bruce G. Fagel practiced emergency medicine for more than a decade. This firsthand healthcare experience allows the firm to rapidly evaluate medical records, identify physician oversights, and counter defense strategies deployed by hospital risk management teams.
