Health Care Law & Litigation
Attorneys at Foland, Wickens, Eisfelder, Roper & Hofer, PC, a Kansas City trial firm, represent doctors, nurses, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, hospices, and other residential care facilities, defending claims brought against our clients, including those involving the following issues:
- Professional Negligence
- Allegations of patient abuse or neglect
- Employment law
- Workers' compensation
- Fraud
- Health Information Protection Act (HIPA) compliance
- Nurse, Administrator and Facility license issues with the State
We have obtained defense verdicts in trials defending doctors and hospitals. We have successfully tried many nursing home cases to defense verdicts. We also have won victories for nursing staff when the state sought to revoke their privileges. We were recently involved in litigation for facilities concerning state payments. We regularly work with highly regarded experts in all of these fields to best represent our client.
Our lawyers are well-versed in state and federal regulations, and how health care law impacts the day-to-day operations of care facilities. We not only defend our clients against claims, but provide consulting on risk management, suit prevention, employment policies, procedures and claim investigation.
If you would like to speak with a member of the firm about representation for a doctor, nurse, nursing home or other residential care facility, please contact our Kansas City office. In addition to representing facilities throughout Kansas and Missouri, lawyers from our defense practice handle issues nationwide.
