Wilkins Tipton is an industry leader in the representation and defense of nursing homes. Our innovative, aggressive and detailed approach to nursing home defense has afforded us the opportunity to represent homes throughout the United States. We recognize that while nursing home cases are similar in many respects to medical malpractice lawsuits, they also have unique issues which require a specialized expertise.
To address each issue in a nursing home case, we implement a team approach. This includes a document team to address the large volume of records typically involved in a nursing home claim. We also employ a full time RN to identify and address the medical issues unique to each case, and assist the attorneys in developing appropriate defenses to each issue. It is our objective to focus on the facts and reduce the emotional issues inherent in this type of litigation.
In the course of our nursing home trial work, we have identified health care experts who specialize in medical fields connected with core issues in the defense of nursing home lawsuits. These include such areas as gerontology, nephrology, cardiology, internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, wound care and nursing home administration. The expert witnesses we retain are highly trained and have extensive experience in their respective field of expertise.
Wilkins Tipton’s success in obtaining numerous defense verdicts for our clients proves that we continue to set the benchmark in this field of litigation. We are committed to applying this same level of excellence to all of our clients.
