Bruce A. Vande Vusse

Shareholder

Bruce is a shareholder in the firm's Farmington Hills Office. He practices primarily in the areas of medical malpractice, health law and general litigation.

A litigator, Bruce concentrates primarily on professional liability defense and the representation of hospitals, their various affiliates, physicians, nurses and other healthcare providers. He has consulted on a variety of health care issues ranging from licensing investigations, medical record matters, Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), peer review, staff privileges and managed care participation and termination.  These are some of the reason that Bruce is such a highly regarded medical malpractice defense attorney in Detroit.

Three factors distinguish Bruce's medical defense practice. First, experience; Bruce tries several cases to verdict each year. Second, persistence in mastering the medicine and medical procedures involved in each case by research and personal observation of medical procedures. Finally, thorough preparation of clients for their testimony at depositions and in the courtroom through preparatory meetings and practice depositions. As a proactive measure, Bruce often provides in-house training sessions to health care providers on best practices to minimize professional liability claims.

Rounding out his practice, Bruce also handles civil litigation matters in state and federal courts, both at the trial and appellate levels, and in arbitration and alternative dispute resolution forums.

In addition to being involved in legal professional groups such as the State Bar of Michigan and the Michigan Defense Trial Counsel, Bruce is passionate about helping at-risk children. He currently sits on the Board of Starr Commonwealth and was formerly the President of the Board of Trustees for the Children's Home of Detroit.
