Health Care Litigation

Mon, 25 Apr 2011 14:20:26 GMT

For many years, we have been asked to represent facilities and individual healthcare providers against healthcare liability claims. Such cases can involve complex medical issues, complex settlement issues, and complex consent and databank reporting issues. We have also monitored litigation of such claims on behalf of individual doctor clients, interested in protecting their assets, making sure their interests were adequately protected by their liability carrier, and standing behind their decisions relating to how the case should be handled.

Business, commercial, and consumer litigation can be expensive to defend or prosecute. When such matters are entrusted to inexperienced attorneys results can be uncertain and costly. We have a proven track record of success litigating cases involving:

Shareholder Disputes - private companies
Partnership Disputes
Officer and Director Liability
Breach of Contract
Breach of Express or Implied Warranties
Class Actions
Commercial Transactions
Consumer Complaints and Actions
Deceptive Trade Practices Actions

In these types of matters it is especially important for your counsel to help you establish specific goals for your case, and target a strategy that works to accomplish that goal in a cost effective timley manner. When your business is under fire, or you have claims to prosecute, you should be able to rely on your attorneys to provide you with a goal specific litigation in a cost effective manner. We have that experience for you.

The Insurance Adjuster's Essential Guide for Handling Texas Claims - 2010

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 17:05:33 GMT

Laws regulating the handling of claims can sometimes be confusing. Add to that the fact that many adjusters handle claims in multiple states, and the task of keeping the laws straight can be daunting. Education is simply the best way for adjusters and carriers to avoid extra-contractual liability. The Insurance Adjuster's Essential Guide for Handling Texas Claims was written as a service to insurance carriers and claims adjusters. This publication also forms the basis of the written materials for seminars we provide adjusters giving continuing education credit in the area of ethics and consumer protection. The basic adjuster seminar has been approved by the Texas Department of Insurance for two hours of continuing education credit for all adjuster types and satisfies the two hour ethics requirement for adjusters. An additional seminar can be added for one additional hour, providing a more in-depth look at the Deceptive Trade Practice Act. Copies of this publication can be obtained by...
