Panel Counsel
Prompt investigation, sound evaluation, and proactive resolution tactics enhance clients’ legal positions as well as safeguard their reputations and medical licenses. To this end, PRMS has assembled a network of experienced defense attorneys who work with our in-house professionals to provide timely, effective, and locally based legal advice and representation.
This arrangement allows clients access to intimate knowledge of venues and legal climates. Every firm on our panel has a demonstrated expertise in defending malpractice actions, and many of the firms have been with us since our inception.

Expert Witnesses
World-renowned experts, with experience in the specialty or subspecialty that a case involves, are retained to assist with developing and defending litigation. Respected local experts are utilized to further buttress a defense, as needed.

PRMS recognizes the importance of collecting, maintaining, and understanding a client's claims experience data. The PRMS claims information system was designed and developed by our in-house IT Department in coordination with the claims staff. This system is capable of meeting requirements required by insurance carriers and also provides ad hoc reporting capabilities that can be tailored to each client's specific needs, thus helping to track trends and exposures.
