Defending Nurses Against Malpractice Claims

When a patient experiences an undesired or unexpected outcome while hospitalized, the focus is often on nurses. Nurses have significant hands-on time with the patient, and are charged with dispensing medication, monitoring and documenting the patient's condition, and reporting up the chain of command. These important responsibilities leave nurses vulnerable to malpractice lawsuits.

At Donnelly Nelson & Depolo, we are strong advocates for nurses and their professional liability carriers. Our lawyers are here to offer you skilled and experienced defense representation.

We defend nurses against malpractice claims and also represent them in matters before California's Board of Registered Nursing. Our attorneys can provide nurses with guidance involving addressing patient complaints and formal inquiries, and represent them in administrative hearings and all licensing and disciplinary matters.

We proactively seek out the facts to demonstrate that our clients did not deviate from accepted medical standards and that they did, in fact, exercise appropriate judgment in the course of their duties. We are committed to protecting the careers, reputations and livelihoods of nurses.
