Health Care Litigation and Risk Management

The health care industry’s legal risks and financial exposure have increased as the frequency and severity of claims continues to climb, the cause of which lies, in part, in service lapses and communication failures among health care providers, staff and the patients they treat. These important concepts directly impact whether the recipients of health care seek the services of a plaintiff’s lawyer, whether a claim will be pursued and, ultimately, what will happen in the courtroom.

Stevens & Lee provides risk engineering and loss control services far beyond what you would expect from others. Stevens & Lee not only performs a baseline risk management survey, but also has developed a second level of audit, and has several programs designed to significantly reduce professional liability exposure while enhancing one’s business by creating, among other things, a positive effect on market share, liability reduction, staff retention, recruiting and overhead. This combination of limiting exposure and enhancing economics creates a climate for success.
