Professional liability lawsuits involve claims of malpractice against accountants; attorneys; architects; engineers; land surveyors; insurance agents; corporate directors and officers; and a full range of health care providers, including medical doctors of all specialties; nurses; nurse practitioners; physician assistants; chiropractors; podiatrists; physical therapists; diagnostic providers; home health care agencies; nursing homes; and hospitals. The elements of such claims are unique and must be established in order for a party to prevail. Many of the mediators on LIMS’ panel have experience representing parties in such claims and/or presiding over mediations involving lawsuits against professionals.  Accordingly, they are aware of the legal issues involved in advancing claims and defenses for such claims and possess the requisite background to assist the parties.

Professional liability cases are prime candidates for mediation because they: 

Avoid costly malpractice trials.

Malpractice suits require extensive and expensive expert reports and witnesses. 

Preclude lengthy lawsuits.

Instead of explaining difficult topics to juries and judges, our highly knowledgeable mediators have years of dedicated expertise focused on these highly complex subject areas.
