Civil Rights Defense

Being sued for an alleged violation of a citizen's civil rights is a personal and professional hardship which goes beyond the lawsuit itself. The allegations are often personal in nature, degrading, and commonly exaggerated to achieve the effect desired by plaintiff's counsel: publicity and humiliation.

In Michigan we are the voice of the defense industry with respect to representing the interests of correctional health care providers.  Our mixture of clients includes county jails, state prison facilities, as well as independent medical providers of all levels: physicians, physicians’ assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, etc.

We currently handle virtually all of the health care litigation involving privately contracted health care within the Michigan Department of Corrections.  Additionally, we represent the providers of over fifty percent of the private corrections health care market in Michigan.  Our presence in Florida is smaller but growing.

Over the past twenty years, we have defended hundreds of claims to the overwhelming satisfaction of our clients and their insurance carriers. The vast majority of claims handled by Chapman And Associates end in dismissal prior to or at the close of discovery.  Many plaintiff firms do not understand enough about the interplay of the various laws to prevent dismissal.  Our ability to defend cases at trial is equally impressive. 

Handling a medical malpractice action is extremely difficult, requiring a great deal of expertise.  Add to this the complexity of the PLRA and Civil Rights Act.  Because of our concentration of legal services in this specialized area of the law, we are better equipped to handle the complexities of such legal issues.
