If someone you love was hurt in a nursing home, if a facility harmed a patient in its care, or if you've been falsely accused of abuse, you probably have more questions than answers right now. We can help. For more than 25 years, Reinan Law has stood up for Colorado families and individuals against the institutions, and the people, who caused them harm. Tell us what happened. The first call is free, and you'll get an honest answer about where you stand.
If you believe you or someone you love has been harmed by neglect, abuse, or a false accusation, here is where we focus.
A false accusation of child abuse by a hospital, doctor, or medical professional can cost a parent the loss of time with their children, drain their resources, and unfairly damage their reputation. When someone knowingly makes a false accusation, you may be able to hold them accountable in civil court. We represent the falsely accused.
Families are usually the first to notice, often after a fall, a bedsore, an infection, or a loss that didn't have to happen. We hold facilities accountable for the harm they cause, including wrongful death.
Patients in addiction treatment and mental health facilities are vulnerable, and some facilities put profit ahead of care. We handle cases about mistreatment inside these facilities, not the addiction itself.
Falls, pressure injuries, and hospital-acquired infections can be signs that a hospital cut corners. We represent patients harmed by preventable failures.
When a provider deceives patients, bills fraudulently, or ignores patients' rights, we pursue claims that hold them accountable.
We take fewer cases than most firms, and we do it on purpose. It lets us give each client real attention and prepare every case carefully, as if it will go to trial, because sometimes it does. A lot of firms avoid the courtroom and settle quickly for whatever is offered. We're willing to try a case when that's what it takes to reach a fair result, and the other side knows it.
Jay Reinan has tried more than 50 jury trials. He spent his early career defending hospitals and nursing homes, then switched sides in 1999 to represent the people these institutions harm, so he understands how the other side builds a case. He's won six- and seven-figure verdicts, including a $12.5 million jury verdict, and he teaches trial skills to other attorneys. Jordana Griff Gingrass has worked with Jay Reinan representing elderly and disabled clients and their families since 2006. Between them, you get lawyers who know this work and who will tell you the truth about your case.
We're based in Denver and represent clients across Colorado, Wyoming, and Minnesota. Jay grew up in rural Minnesota and has tried cases in small, rural courts throughout his career, making him equally comfortable with juries outside of cities as much as in urban areas.
We'll listen, ask about the injury and the evidence, and tell you honestly whether we think you have a case. We don't take every case, and if yours isn't a fit, we'll say so and point you somewhere better when we can. There's no cost to talk and no pressure.
In most civil cases, yes. Filing a lawsuit puts facts on the public record, and the other side can question you under oath. We walk you through what that means before you decide to move forward.
The injured resident, or, if they have died or cannot act for themselves, a spouse, adult child or sibling acting on their behalf. Standing depends on the state where the injury occurred as well as the facts, and we can discuss the specifics of your potential case on the first call.
Most cases take a year or two, sometimes longer. Anyone who promises a fast payout is telling you what you want to hear, not the truth.
We handle cases on a contingency fee, so you don't pay attorney fees unless we recover for you.
