Medical Malpractice

We are recognized as among the pre-eminent trial lawyers in the state. We handle many of New Hampshire's most significant medical malpractice cases and have recovered multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements. As New Hampshire's largest and one of its most respected law firms, we have the economic, professional, and technological resources to prosecute successfully the most difficult cases. Indeed, we are the firm of choice of many lawyers when referring a client who has suffered a catastrophic medical injury. There is no better measure of our merit than this confidence and respect of our peers.

We do not advertise in the yellow pages or on television. We have built this practice on a reputation earned over decades in the courtroom successfully representing clients in some of the most difficult cases.

All of McLane's medical malpractice attorneys are listed in Best Lawyers in America® and are recognized throughout the state as leaders in the trial of medical malpractice cases. As outlined in their biographies, each of them has substantial experience and expertise in this area. Any of them would be happy to speak with you about your potential case.

These cases are challenging and hard fought. The defendants hire only the best defense lawyers. The legal requirements for a plaintiff to prevail are demanding and require testimony from experts on every element of a claim. We have the resources and experience to locate and engage pre-eminent medical experts, vigorously prosecute the case through discovery and trial, and maximize the chances for a favorable recovery by verdict or settlement. Our record in resolving these cases is outstanding.
