DYER LAW FIRM, LLC, WINS APPEAL IN MEDICAL RECORDS PRIVACY LAWSUIT WITH STATE-WIDE IMPLICATIONS.

8/30/2016

 
​​The Court of Appeals for Wisconsin just issued its decision affirming the dismissal of a medical records privacy lawsuit against Gundersen Clinic and two of its employees.  Dyer Law Firm, LLC, got the lawsuit dismissed last year, and then successfully handled the appeal, for the two employees.  The La Crosse Tribune Article can be read here.  The decision of the Court of Appeals can be read here.

In its opinion, which is recommended for publication, the Court of Appeals sided with us and ruled that a patient cannot sue hospital/clinic employees who looked at patient records without the patient's permission, when information in those records was not released to anyone else inside or outside of the hospital/clinic. 

It should be noted that these defendants deny that the records were viewed without the patient's knowledge/permission.  They assert the lawsuit was baseless in fact.  In any event, I am glad we got the lawsuit dismissed on purely legal grounds at the earliest stage possible--and then kept it dismissed.
