Smith Haughey Rice & Roegge
Laura Johnson defends hospitals and medical professionals against claims of medical malpractice and licensing action. She is well-versed on the subject, having spent part of her career prior to joining Smith Haughey as a medical malpractice plaintiff’s attorney in Grand Rapids and Detroit. In one case, Johnson achieved summary disposition and complete dismissal of an action against a Kalamazoo health care system. The motion was originally denied, but she used a recent Michigan Supreme Court decision to persuade the court on a Motion for Reconsideration that the claims of vicarious liability against her client were without legal merit. Johnson also is a member of the firm’s Associate Development Committee, working to develop and mentor those newer to the profession.
