PRACTICE AREAS
Correctional Care
Our correctional-care practice draws on our wealth of experience and expertise in defending healthcare professionals against malpractice claims and defending public entities against civil-rights claims. Healthcare professionals and entities providing medical services to incarcerated individuals are often at particular risk of being grieved or sued by prisoners for various alleged civil rights violations. We represent physicians, physician assistants, nurses, mental health providers, and their employers who provide medical, dental, and mental health services in correctional facilities across the state of Colorado. These cases against correctional-care professionals and entities require a sophisticated understanding of both the medical and mental health issues involved and the federal law governing prisoners’ rights and correctional facilities’ responsibilities. Our correctional-care team of attorneys and paralegals have substantial experience in medical litigation, federal civil-rights litigation, and correctional-care litigation. Our wealth of experience in these critical areas allow our correctional-care team to provide that experience and knowledge to our clients at every level of correctional care litigation and to successfully defend cases involving entities and professionals in the correctional care setting.
