Healthcare Litigation: What Makes it Unique from Commercial Litigation
When it comes to healthcare litigation, the second most regulated industry in the United States, there is a higher level of complexity involved compared to commercial litigation. While normal business litigation focuses on whether someone committed a tort or breached a contract and procedural rules, healthcare litigation encompasses these same topics but also requires additional considerations.
Litigation strategies for healthcare cases need to consider factors above and beyond common procedural and legal considerations. It’s not advisable to show up in court with an attorney who handles a healthcare case the same as an everyday commercial matter because this may lead to disastrous outcomes.
If you’re facing healthcare litigation, don’t entrust your case into just any random corporate attorney’s hands. Winning healthcare court cases require superior trial skills combined with profound knowledge of relevant healthcare legislation and applicable regulations.
Opposing parties in healthcare cases often try their best to gain the upper hand by putting forth allegations of HIPAA breaches, violations of federal and state anti-kickback rules or Stark Law, or even accusations of fraud. In such situations, it’s best to enlist attorneys capable of quickly responding without creating unwarranted escalation that may attract federal government attention.
Failing to recognize possible threats can result in extremely unfavorable outcomes for all parties involved.
