Medical Malpractice Defense

Medical Malpractice Attorneys in Chattanooga, Tennessee

Medical negligence law is the emphasis of one of the shareholders of Franklin, Cooper & Marcus, PLLC. Gary Cooper has been actively engaged in defending claims and lawsuits alleging medical negligence against hospitals and other healthcare providers for more than ten years.

Medical negligence law differs from other fields of litigation due in part to statutes that have been passed that require injured persons to present testimony from experts (usually physicians) who qualify under the statutes to give an opinion stating that there has been medical negligence, which the law describes as "a deviation in the standard of care." Without such expert testimony, medical malpractice cases usually fail.

If you need an experienced lawyer to handle or to assist with the defense of a professional negligence claim against a medical provider, contact Franklin, Cooper & Marcus, PLLC. Offices are open from 8:00 am until 5:30 pm, Monday through Friday. Evening and weekend appointments are available upon request.
