Areas of Specialty

Hamlin & Burton specializes in hospital and physician medical malpractice, nursing home liability and other complex claims. We have considerable expertise in Long Term Care and our extensive background in handling the investigation, evaluation, resolution and litigation management aspects of nursing home claims has enabled us to successfully manage this challenging area of law.

Professional liability claims associated with nursing homes and assisted living facilities present complex, volatile and challenging issues. Effectively managing the exposure presented by claims alleging a Violation of Patients¹ Rights requires aggressive claim handling, carefully constructed resolution strategies and an accurate analysis of each case. Our staff has the requisite experience to prepare these claims for early evaluation. We use information gathered during the investigation phase to support theme development and resolution strategies on a claim-by-claim basis. Our proactive and specialized approach to Long Term Care claims provides proven results and will assist any carrier or self-insured organization in managing this explosive area of litigation.
