We Can Protect Your Rights
We have dealt with numerous clients who are afraid to exercise their rights on their own behalf or on behalf of a family member for fear of retaliation. A hospital or health care organization cannot refuse treatment or remove you from the premises for ensuring proper care is given in your or your loved one's treatment. Remember:
- You can document your treatment while in a hospital or doctor's office. That includes taking pictures.
- Health care organizations must protect your records and privacy.
- Only a licensed health care professional can provide your care.
- You can refuse consent to have your procedure telecast or observed as part of a case study.
Jewel Lacey is currently representing patients of North Shore University Hospital who were the victims of identity theft due to an employee stealing patient records. Names, addresses and Social Security numbers were used to purchase expensive goods and run up large credit card balances. She has also represented the victims of an unlicensed doctor who worked on patients who were billed by a licensed doctor.
In these cases and many others, she uses her more than 35 years of legal experience and large network of experts and resources to build strong claims. Additionally, we stress close client communication and learning the full nature of your injuries so we can maximize your compensation.
