Scott Gwartney was raised in Tallahassee, and graduated from The Florida State University College of Law. His entire legal career has been based from his Tallahassee law offices, although he is a multi-state licensed attorney (FL, GA, TN, TX and VA). He focuses his practice on medical litigation, with a primary focus on hospital claims and nursing home claims, working in courts throughout the states of Florida and Georgia.
Medical claims are highly complex, and require a full understanding of the medicine, the standards of care required of health care providers, and the law that applies. The catastrophic injuries that can result from medical negligence require the experience of an attorney who has handled such claims many times before. The final resolution of a catastrophic claim is often the largest financial transaction a client will ever handle. Mr. Gwartney has handled dozens of multi-million dollar medical negligence claims throughout Florida and Georgia, and knows what issues to be alert to and how to help you plan for a final resolution of your catastrophic claim.
