About Jeffrey
Jeffrey P. Bates concentrates his practice in the defense of medical/dental malpractice, products liability, and premises liability claims. Among the cases he handles are large scale personal injury claims arising from construction accidents and explosions. In his career to date, he has worked on several hundred medical and dental malpractice cases.
Jeff has represented a large number of doctors, dentists, physician assistants, certified registered nurse practitioners, and nurses in a multitude of malpractice actions. He has also handled mass tort actions involving drug studies, medical device cases, and pharmaceutical actions.
He has taken approximately 30 cases to trial, ten of which were tried to a jury. He received nine defense verdicts in his jury trials and a high percentage of defense verdicts in his bench trials. A high percentage of the remaining case outcomes consisted of settlements or verdicts significantly below the settlement demands.
Through the creative use of medical, vocational, life care, and accident reconstruction experts, Jeff's team was able to reduce demand from $20 million to $6 million.
He successfully resolved a tort action with potential exposure of $8-$10 million by convincing the plaintiff that our client was not liable for injury causing quadriplegia in a 21-year-old.
Jeff is involved in various professional, civic, and cultural organizations. He is active in the Philadelphia Bar Association's Professional Responsibility Committee. In 1997, he was the recipient of the Outstanding Service Award from the Philadelphia Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts. In 1998, he was the recipient of the Regional Outreach Award from the Philadelphia Baptist Association. He was elected as a member of the Abington School District Board of Directors for the 2002-2005, 2006-2009, and 2010-2013 terms. He has dedicated time and energy to the Abington Educational Foundation, and he has participated in the Philadelphia VIP program. He is also a member of the Board of Managers of the Roychester Community House.
