Business & Health Care Litigation: Choosing The Right Lawyer
Tyler Business Litigation Lawyers Who Will Fight for You!
Disputes in the health care arena can cover a wide variety of issues, from partnership disputes to employment disputes to reimbursement disputes to lawsuits against your competitors. And while some of the issues raised by such litigation may be common to other businesses, the regulated nature of the industry raises unique challenges.
- Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation Disputes
- Partnership and Shareholder Disputes
- Tortious Interference
- Qui Tam and Government Litigation
- Employment Matters
- Contract Disputes
- Trademark and Copyright Litigation
- HIPAA Violations
- ERISA Violations and Insurance Reimbursement
- Criminal investigations or qui tam suits for accusations of violation of the Stark Act, False Claims Act, or other state and federal laws
Health care litigation requires an attorney with knowledge and experience in this area. For example, in every litigation, the parties engage in discovery. However, in the health care arena, that discovery must be handled with an eye towards protecting the client from violating HIPAA or other statutes that protect the identity of your patients. Moreover, your Tyler business litigation lawyer must be aware of anti-kickback, Medicare fraud, and other laws so that your responses do not inadvertently and wrongfully suggest that your business has violated any federal or state healthcare statutes.
