Touchstone Bernays’ experience in health care liability claims includes the representation of doctors, nurses, hospitals, and nursing homes, as well as psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. With the protections afforded by tort reform in Texas in this area, these claims are generally very defensible and our attorneys know how to develop and defend these cases to a successful conclusion. Experts are key to a successful defense in most of these cases and our attorneys and staff have worked with many of the most qualified and respected experts in the health care industry. Our attorneys are also familiar with the professional liability insurance policy provisions and are sensitive to the need for communication and cooperation between the health care professional, the carrier representative, and the attorney in order to effectively and efficiently handle these claims.
