About
I have been an attorney for over 37 years and a medical negligence trial lawyer for most of my career. My multi-state practice only accepts medical malpractice cases. My prior experience defending malpractice cases filed against the government and later, defending physicans and prestigious medical centers, such as The Cleveland Clinic in malpractice cases, provides me a unique perspective now in litigating medical negligence cases on behalf of severely injured patients and/or their loved ones. I have concentrated at times on birth injury cases, as you can see from my publication titles and listings, however, I handle all areas of medical negligence injury and wrongful death trial work including malpractice cases against physicians, specialists, hospitals, nurses, therapists and nursing homes. One of my prior positions was as the lead Pentagon attorney handling the defense of medical malpractice cases related to medical care at Army hospitals and clinics. Therefore, the handling of malpractice cases filed under the Federal Tort Claims Act involving substandard care and treatment at military and VA medical centers evolved into another area of emphasis in my trial practice. My current licensing, in good standing in SEVEN states, helps to provide a broad base of experience across numerous state lines. In those states where I do not have a current license, I can often make a special appearance "pro hac vice" by virtue of my experience as a medical malpractice litigator and prosecute the action (in conjuction with local counsel) as first chair. I am honored to be among those successful attorneys qualifying for selection into the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, based upon large settlements or verdicts in past cases.

Mr. Sumner was friendly, articilulate, and explained the possibility of a malpractice case on behalf of my cousin who suffered terribly before her death thanks to a negligent physician. I found this attorney to be a great listener and able to explain the specifics of a suit with me. He has a wonderful voice and is kind, yet never condescending in his tone. He was up front with me regarding the problems with my particular case and told me to get another opinion.
We enlisted the expertise of David Sumner to help us with a very difficult case against a major medical facility and a surgeon on staff. We have nothing but praise for Mr. Sumner. Though he lives in a different state, he has been there for us every step of the way. He is extremely dedicated, very thorough, profoundly knowledgeable, honest, intense, hard working, determined, friendly, down to earth, takes every bit of the case personally. My husband and I HIGHLY recommend David W. Sumner.
Attorney Dave Sumner represented me in an extremely difficult medical malpractice case. I had contacted several attorneys before finding Mr. Sumner and I felt that none of them would represent me due to the complexity. I was about to give up hope when I ran across his website. He helped me when no one else would. Using his exceptionally broad knowledge and his 30 years of experience, he fought to get us the best possible results for our case. Attorney Sumner also has many connections with amazing experts across the country who helped to aid our case. Above all, Dave Sumner is a great human being who genuinely cares for his clients. He is incredibly focused, determined, and dedicated and I HIGHLY recommend him for any malpractice case.
