Contact James Avery for further information. Call now: 303-840-2222 or complete the contact form below.

HIPAA violations are expensive. The penalties for noncompliance are based on the level of negligence and can range from $100 to $50,000 per violation (or per record), with a maximum penalty of $1.5 million per year for violations of an identical provision. Violations can also carry criminal charges that can result in jail time.

OCR only may take action on complaints if:

  • Your rights were violated by a covered entity or business associate
  • You file your complaint within 180 days of the violation

These statutory remedies, however, are not available to private citizens, whose sole remedy is under state law (using HIPAA regulations as a standard). State remedies must be pursued starting with a notice of claim within 182 days of the date of discovery.

Don’t delay, failure to meet the time deadlines can bar your claim. Talk to an experienced attorney today.

Colorado Candor Act

Posted on by jwavery

The 2019 Colorado Candor Act, C.R.S. 25-51-101, creates a mechanism for the possible resolution of medical malpractice claims which allows the physician or other provider (including service corporations and hospitals) to avoid reporting the claim to the Medical Board. Since the Medical Board is statutorily obligated to review all medical malpractice settlements for possible disciplinary action, the Act seeks to create a mechanism for resolving claims in a ‘risk free’ manner for physicians/providers.

There are some key components to the Candor Act that patients should be aware of. First, the decision to utilize or invoke the procedures of the Act are unilateral, in the sole discretion of the physician or provider, not in response to a demand or claim initiated by the patient. The patient will receive a written notice from the physician or provider, within 180 days of the date of the date they acquired knowledge of the ‘adverse incident’ or injury resulting occurrence.

If you receive a notice from a physician or provider, it will state that you have a right to have an attorney represent you. The benefits of an attorney are the same as if you were involved in a medical malpractice case. The experienced attorney will be able to ascertain the true value of your injury and advise you or the relative merits of accepting the provider’s offer (if one is conveyed during the process) versus pursuing other actions like complaints to the medical board or filing a claim or lawsuit.

Denver’s “America’s Top 100 High Stakes Litigator” James Avery has over 35 years representing patients in medical malpractice settlements and litigation, and can represent you in your Candor Act discussions or subsequent lawsuit, if necessary. If you or a loved one is facing the need to respond to a Candor Act notice, contact James Avery as soon as possible to know your rights and the value of your injury claim.

Salainis

I had learned already many of the Outland methods of communicating by forest notes rather than trust to the betraying, high-pitched human voice.

None of these was of more use to me than the call for refuge. If any Outlier wished to be private in his place, he raised that call, which all who were within hearing answered.

Then whoever was on his way from that placed hurried, and whoever was coming toward it stayed where he was until he had permission to move on.
