Handling medical malpractice claims with care and knowledge   All medical malpractice claims filed in New Hampshire must first go to a medical malpractice screening panel, which will determine the claim's validity. A retired judge, a doctor and a lawyer serve on this panel. Attorney Kevin Buchholz is a member of the medical malpractice screening panel, which gives him substantial knowledge of medical negligence claims and insight into what makes a good case.   Walker & Buchholz, P.A. handles medical malpractice claims arising from:  

• Birth injuries


• Defective medical devices


• Emergency room errors


• Failures to diagnose and misdiagnosis


• Pharmaceutical errors


• Surgical errors including those arising from elective surgery

  The determination made by the screening panel does not prevent the legal team from moving forward with the claim. However, the determination can be used by either side when the case is presented to the jury.
