The Firm

Fraser Watson & Croutch LLP specializes in civil litigation. Areas of specialty include defense of medical malpractice, elder and dependent adult abuse, catastrophic personal injury cases, employment claims, and all claims arising under personal and commercial insurance lines, such as premises liability, product liability, various tort and contract disputes. The firm also handles business litigation and complex class action cases.

We represent some of the most prestigious and established healthcare institutions in Southern California, including teaching institutions, universities, acute general hospitals, and clinics.  We are proud to represent individual physicians, nurses, physicians’ assistants, nurse practitioners, and other medical professionals who are accused of professional negligence.  We have represented some of the finest surgeons and medical specialists in the country through trial, in multi-million dollar cases, and are proud that these physicians have placed their trust in us to defend their professional reputations.  We also represent Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly, Skilled Nursing Facilities, and rehabilitation facilities that are accused of misconduct in their essential provision of services to our elderly population.

Most law firms and individual attorneys shy away from trial, secondary to uncertainty of outcome and the grueling work involved. Fraser Watson & Croutch has the reputation as an aggressive, strong trial advocate for its clients, consistently obtaining successful defense outcomes in some of the largest potential damages cases ever filed in California. This reputation frequently results in voluntary dismissals or favorable settlements for our clients in matters where a trial is not the best option for either party.
