Their experience includes complex and high exposure claims brought in the circuit and federal district courts, as well as representation of health care professionals undergoing investigations by medical boards and the offices of state attorneys general.

When an injury involves the potential for catastrophic damages, the members of Plunkett Cooney's Medical Litigation Group create a team of specialists, including life care planners, economists and focus groups to analyze the pertinent issues and to minimize potential damages.

Should a matter proceed to trial, Plunkett Cooney’s attorneys work with their litigation support team to produce high-impact visual presentations to assist the jury with understanding the complexities of the medical issues involved.

Many of the group's attorneys have particular expertise in specific medical disciplines, and several have educational backgrounds in medical fields. Their intimate knowledge of highly technical medical procedures, treatments and health care policies are front-line assets in the defense of claims alleging medical malpractice.

Plunkett Cooney’s clients include physicians in general and specialized practice, pharmacists, chiropractors, dentists, podiatrists, psychologists, psychiatrists, hospitals and their employees, medical clinics, mental health facilities and extended care facilities.
