Medical Liability, Compliant & Disciplinary Law
Medical liability is a delicate subject, not only for the victim, but also for the care provider.
Van Benthem & Keulen assists care providers and liability insurers when they are faced with civil claims based on negligence, complaints to disciplinary bodies or when they are faced with a professional association.
