West Palm Beach Doctor Sues Doctor

West Palm Beach personal injury attorney, Gary Roberts, reports court case involving orthopedic surgeons. Jeffrey Kugler, M.D. accuses Michael Zeide, M.D. of publishing statements defaming Kugler.

According to knowledgeable West Palm Beach personal injury attorney Gary Roberts, the Kugler complaint asserts Dr. Zeide wrongfully accused Kugler of false billings for surgeries. The lawsuit also alleges Zeide has taken advantage of his status, as a doctor in the community, by making false and defamatory statements about Dr. Kugler.

However, prominent Palm Beach injury attorney, Gary Roberts, of West Palm Beach, Florida comments after reviewing the complaint. Roberts notes a strange and unusual move for this type of litigation; plaintiff, Dr. Kugler and his attorneys have not asked for a jury trial. Both doctors are frequent court expert witnesses in legal actions and are often called upon to essentially challenge the others’ opinions.
