Trusted Counsel In Las Vegas
Most hospitals are owned by national chains who keep large staffs of attorneys specializing in defending such cases on retainer. The chains are usually self-insured, which means that they are paying from their own "pocket." Even in the clearest of cases, they will not settle without undergoing serious litigation by attorneys they know are capable of going to trial with these legally complex cases.
At Law Offices of Steven Burris, our attorneys have handled over a hundred lawsuits against Las Vegas hospitals. One of our firm members was for three years in charge of the State agency that then regulated lawsuits against doctors and hospitals, and is widely known and respected in the field.
