Plano, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/03/2013 -- According to the National Practitioner Data Bank, an estimated 50-65% of all physicians will be sued at least once during their career. This startling statistic is not so surprising, however, to Texas Medical Board Lawyer Jeffrey Grass, who has set the standard in defending medical professionals.
Grass says, "We understand how much a doctor's ability to practice their craft means to them and other health care professionals. That is why we focus our energy on helping clients preserve their careers. Chances are that you are an intelligent, highly educated health care professional who knows a great deal about practicing medicine. If your ability to practice has been challenged, you may feel that you are in the best position to make your case before the peer review hearing and fight for your rights. From the moment you are under peer review or under investigation for professional misconduct, you are involved in a legal process. It's imperative you act quickly to obtain experienced legal help."
While medical malpractice cases are the ones hitting the headlines most often, law offices also handle an assortment of other types of cases too, says Grass. " Some allegations we typically litigate and win are claims of disruptive behavior, professional misconduct, poor patient care and inadequate documentation. Additionally, we have expertise in peer review, medical professional license defense, board hearings, DEA administrative hearings, controlled substance registrations, medicare fraud defense and Qui Tam litigation."
The Texas medical board attorney encourages health care professionals to look out for their own best interests, saying, "If you've been given notice that you will subjected to medical peer review at a hospital where you practice, an investigation by your state medical licensing board, an administrative inquiry or any other proceeding that could harm your ability to practice medicine, you need an attorney right away."
