Health Law

Jardine, Logan & O’Brien, P.L.L.P. has represented numerous hospitals, long-term care facilities, physicians, nursing homes, and other health care professionals in suits alleging medical negligence. We have also represented health care professionals and organizations on issues including malpractice, licensure and disciplinary matters, employment, and hospital corporate liability. With nurse-attorneys on staff, we have unparalleled insight into critical health care issues.

With attorneys licensed in several states, our health care practice extends to the defense of claims in state and federal courts of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa.

It is our philosophy to vigorously and aggressively defend all claims that do not have merit. In turn, we believe it is equally important to identify claims that involve some client exposure and to determine the extent of that exposure. This determination frequently involves locating and identifying qualified physicians, nurses, and other health care professionals who can provide expert testimony to defend against malpractice claims when a trial becomes necessary.
