Severe Injuries

Because of the outrageous conduct of the managed care company in denying medically necessary care, it is also possible to bring an intentional infliction of emotional distress claim. Oftentimes you can bring these claims not only on behalf of the insured but also in circumstances where the aggrieved party is a minor, you could bring the claim both on behalf of the minor and the parent. Although the threshold for an intentional infliction of emotional distress claim is high -- one that constitutes extreme and outrageous conduct that goes beyond all possible bounds of decency and is shocking, atrocious and utterly intolerable in a civilized community - it is winnable.

Ricci~Leopold, P.A. has represented many clients who have suffered significant injuries as the result of managed care companies placing the desire for profits over the welfare of the patient. Although we wish that managed care companies never exhibited the type of outrageous conduct that leads to patients suffering serious injury, the fact is that it does happen.
