Correctional Law

Correctional law is a unique area of litigation requiring skill and experience. Handling these claims requires exceptional knowledge of 42 USC §1983 and all of its pitfalls and unique characteristics.

Chapman and Associates is proud to be Michigan's leading medical malpractice, jail/prison and civil rights defense firm. In Michigan we are the voice of the defense industry with respect to representing the interests of private correctional providers. Our mixture of clients includes county jails, state prison facilities, as well as independent providers of all levels.

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.

Your defense depends on counsel understanding all areas of the PLRA, 42 USC §1983, 42 USC §1997e and the interplay between each. When your integrity and financial security are at stake, you need experienced counsel who successfully handle these claims.
