RWR devotes a substantial amount of its practice to defending hospitals, physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals, both in litigation and before professional licensing agencies. We represent health professionals insured by Illinois’ largest professional liability insurers, as well as a wide variety of self-insured institutional clients, including large teaching hospitals, community based and tertiary care hospitals, standing ambulatory centers, and healthcare clinics.

The attorneys in this group have defended cases in virtually every field of medicine, including many catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases. The group is composed of experienced health care and trial lawyers with extensive experience, training and formal education in complex health care issues. Additionally, partners in this group have experience in the claims industry and, from this, bring unique insights into controlling expenses while offering our clients aggressive defense strategies. We pride ourselves as being available for our clients anytime a need arises.

In addition to representing healthcare professionals, our professional liability practice extends to the representation of accountants, attorneys, design professionals and engineers in various forums. We defend large firms, as well as solo practitioners, against liability claims while advising on best practices and risk management techniques to prevent exposure from ever becoming an issue.

We believe our success depends upon ongoing communication and open interaction with our clients regarding the handling of cases. Our goal is to resolve claims in an economical manner while always being prepared to take cases to trial.
