Professional Malpractice

Professional malpractice is a specific type of professional negligence in which the licensed professional is accused of departing from the acceptable standards of practice. Expert witnesses are required to testify as to the standard of practice, the accused's departure therefrom, and the causal link between the defendant's departure and the patient's harm. Experts are also required to determine the extent of injuries, the costs of tending to those injuries, and the amount of payment that would be required to compensate the patient for those damages. It is a highly-complex area of the law and professionals accused of malpractice must be represented by skilled attorneys with extensive experience in the field.

Nurse Licensure Defense

Licensing boards have the authority and the obligation to investigate allegations of professional misconduct. Such investigations can result in discipline on one's license to practice. Some matters can be resolved with negotiation or informal settlement conferences, while others require formal hearings. Final orders of discipline are public information and cause inclusion in the National Practitioner Data Bank. Many collateral issues can arise from licensure discipline, such as exclusion from participation in state or federal programs and reciprocal enforcement in other states in which the licensee has been granted a professional license.

Worker’s Compensation

Worker’s compensation is a system of rules in every state designed to pay the expenses of employees who are harmed while performing job-related duties. There are both federal laws and state laws which relate to workers' compensation. The laws provide the injured workers with fixed monetary awards, in an attempt to eliminate the need for litigation. These laws also provide benefits for dependents of those workers who are killed because of work-related accidents or illnesses. Some laws also protect employers and fellow workers by limiting the amount an injured employee can recover from an employer and by eliminating the liability of co-workers in most accidents. State statutes establish this framework for most employment. Federal statutes are limited to federal employees or those workers employed in some significant aspect of interstate commerce.

Physician Contract Review

Physician Contract and Nurse Protocol Agreement Reviews are essential for any of the following instances:

  • Entering into a new contract

  • Renewing a contract

  • Changing compensation or benefits packages

  • Re-negotiating an existing contract

  • Exiting a physician employment contract

A line by line review assisting in the understanding of the language contained in a contractual agreement so that a well-informed decision can be determined. The ability to provide a thorough review of any healthcare employment agreements entered into are fair, high quality, and competitive is of the utmost importance.
