Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

Babbitt, Johnson, Osborne & Le Clainche, P.A. in West Palm Beach, Florida, was founded in 1965. Soon after we founded our practice, we became the first lawyers in Palm Beach Country to obtain a million-dollar verdict in a personal injury matter. That got our client the relief they deserved – and it got us on the map. In the years that followed, we've won numerous multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements, in matters including products liability, drug litigation, commercial litigation, medical malpractice, and other mass tort and personal injury matters. We've obtained some of the largest recoveries ever seen in Florida – and helped our clients out of difficult times.

Since that first memorable win, our reputation and our track record has grown, but one thing remains the same: our commitment to each client. Our partners handle every case themselves; they never farm out work to a less experienced lawyer. And they take on cases only after careful consideration and investigation. That lets us devote the resources each case needs – and each victory demands. Other lawyers are quick to settle, because that's the easiest way for them to move on. We'll go all the way to trial, if necessary. Because that's the only way our client can move on. And that's what makes us a different sort of law firm. Your best interests get our best efforts.

Practice Areas Description

We have extensive experience handling a broad range of complex injury and litigation matters, including the following:

- Medical and Hospital Negligence

Through the legal system, victims of medical malpractice and their families can seek redress for their injuries – and accountability for mistakes that, in many cases, have changed their life. But medical malpractice litigation is a complicated, challenging area of the law. Plaintiffs who don't carefully select their counsel will find that their lawyers can make mistakes as easily as their doctors. That's why it's essential to choose a firm that isn't just knowledgeable in medical malpractice law, but has a reputation for experience and a record of success. For more than 35 years, Babbitt, Johnson, Osborne & Le Clainche has aggressively represented victims of medical malpractice. Our firm has won national media attention both for our cases and for our insistent pursuit of more openness in the medical profession – a quest that has resulted in changes in policies and laws. If you or a loved one has been a victim of medical or hospital negligence, contact us for a free consultation and case evaluation. It can be the first step on the road to recovery.

- Business Litigation

Over our four decades of practice, Babbitt, Johnson, Osborne & Le Clainche has squared off against some of the country's largest corporations, building a record of success, and a reputation for aggressive, tenacious, and determined advocacy. We stand up to the largest companies – and we stand up for you. We've handled numerous plaintiffs' cases, and have extensive experience creating litigation strategies that don't just win cases, but protect and enforce the rights of our clients. We get the job done when other firms won't even take the case. We also know that business litigation can be expensive, and the traditional hourly rate model is often untenable for smaller businesses, forcing them to forgo a suit – and their chances for recovery. That's why we offer a business contingency practice, a model that makes more sense for the clients we serve – and ensures that a valid claim won't go unanswered.

- Defective Medical Devices

No product is expected to work as accurately, and as safely, as a medical device. These, after all, are items built to protect us. But when they are poorly designed or manufactured, defects can result. So, too, can injuries and even death. Instead of healing users, these devices harm them. Those who design and build a medical device have a responsibility to create a safe product. When they fail, their devices fail, and people can suffer. But negligence doesn't have to go unanswered. Consumers may have a lawsuit – and recourse – against the designer, manufacturer, or distributor of a faulty medical device. Such a lawsuit may be based on one or more of the following criteria: A defect in the manufacturing of the product; A defect in the design of the device; and, Inadequate warning given to the consumer. Unfortunately, many medical devices can have adverse side effects when defects are present or the proper warnings are not given. Medical device injuries don't have to go unanswered. Contact Babbitt, Johnson, Osborne & Le Clainche for a free consultation and case evaluation.

- Injuries to Children / Children's Rights Advocates

One of the main focuses of our children's rights practice is to give a voice to at-risk children who would otherwise not have a voice in the legal system. We strive to bring about fundamental change in the way children are treated by institutions and governmental agencies. Our firm was involved in the foster care class action, Bonnie L. v. Bush, which challenged the conditions in the Florida child welfare system. Attorney Ted Babbitt is on the board of directors of Florida's Children First, an organization dedicated to children's rights issues. We have experience with all types of children's rights cases, including: Child abuse, including physical and sexual abuse; Child abandonment and neglect; Department of Children and Families (DCF) matters; Foster children's rights; and, The rights of handicapped or disabled children.

- Motor Vehicle Accidents

At Babbitt, Johnson, Osborne & Le Clainche, our decades handling motor vehicle cases have given us the expertise our clients demand – and our opponents dread. We don't just know your case, we know the other side's strategies, and we exploit that every time we walk into a courtroom. Whether it's a serious accident involving injury or death, or a simple rear-end collision, we help our clients obtain fair compensation. And we help them recover. Feel free to contact us for a free consultation and case evaluation. We may be able to help you, too.

- Nursing Home Abuse

Our lawyers have handled numerous nursing home abuses and understand the laws, procedures, and regulations that the owners and managers of these facilities are obliged to follow. We have the resources not only to investigate each matter we take on, but to litigate it aggressively and tenaciously – for as long as it takes to reach a just resolution for our client. These are highly emotional cases, and they can be complicated, too. An experienced lawyer with a track record for success can help to obtain compensation – and lay responsibility. Contact Babbitt, Johnson, Osborne & Le Clainche for a free consultation and case evaluation.

- Personal Injury

At Babbitt, Johnson, Osborne & Le Clainche, P.A., we represent clients for their personal injury concerns in the following areas: Wrongful Death; Premises Liability; Product Liability; Negligent Security; Aviation Accidents; Water Craft Accidents; and, Mesothelioma.

- Pharmaceutical Litigation

Pharmaceuticals are supposed to heal, comfort, and protect. Unfortunately, not all work as they're supposed to – and some can cause severe problems, even death. In recent years, three popular drugs -- Vioxx ®;, Bextra ®;, and Celebrex ®; -- have been linked to heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, and other serious side effects. Manufacturers either failed to do the proper investigative studies before releasing their products – or, worse, released them in spite of troubling data. Either way the end result has been the same: People have suffered, needlessly. The drug companies were supposed to be on your side. But they weren't. Babbitt, Johnson, Osborne & Le Clainche is representing patients who have been injured taking these three drugs. We can't undo the damage, but we can help obtain redress – and accountability. We can also help ensure that drug manufacturers take safety more seriously – a lesson they still haven't learned.

- Securities Litigation

Since 2003, Babbitt, Johnson, Osborne & Le Clainche, P.A., has built a successful securities litigation practice on behalf of investors who suffered losses as a result of possible investment fraud and misrepresentation. While past results do not guarantee future success, dozens of our securities clients have actually recovered amounts greater than their initial investments. While we can make no assurance of similar results, our experience has convinced us that investors often stand a better chance of success in individual suits and arbitration rather than in accepting a blanket settlement.
