Legal Representation for Southern California Medical Groups

Managed care organizations, hospitals, and insurance companies often attempt to control the spiraling cost of healthcare by denying medical groups appropriate compensation for the lifesaving services they provide.

Is your medical practice group being paid fairly by the hospitals where you work or the insurance companies that ultimately pay the bills?

Legal representation of physicians and medical group practices is a strong suit for Endeman, Lincoln, Turek & Heater, LLP in San Diego, California. Our attorneys help medical groups negotiate and, when necessary, litigate to obtain just compensation for their services.

We represented a non-profit organization which developed 116 low income rental townhomes and a six story office building in the City Heights neighborhood in San Diego. Soon after completion the occupants began to experience water intrusion and mechanical problems. We brought suit against the general contractor and architect for construction defects. The defendants claimed our client's damages were in the range of $4 million or less. The matter settled during trial for $11,375,000.

We represented 70 residents against the park owner who tried to illegally remove the residents from the park so that he could develop the property as a commercial shopping center. The owner tried to force the residents out by failing to maintain the park and closing the common area facilities at the park. When the residents tried to sell their homes, the park owner refused to allow the homes to remain in the park. A jury awarded $11,700,000 to the residents. The verdict was reduced by the trial judge and a judgment was entered against the defendants in the amount of $9,917,717.

San Diego Gas & Electric condemned a permanent power line easement over the Stonebridge community in Scripps Ranch which was to replace a temporary easement set to expire. SDG&E initially offered the Stonebridge developers $759,000 for the easement. We were then retained and demonstrated the substantial value of the property interests being condemned and the damages that resulted to the remaining property. We obtained a $10,650,000 in settlement before trial on behalf of the property owner developers.

We represented a group of industrial property and business owners who alleged that the County of Riverside had fraudulently induced them to enter into a contract to support the formation of a Mello-Roos district, and then breached that contract by not providing all the promised infrastructure improvements. After a six week trial, obtained a $3.9 million jury verdict based on the jury's finding of fraud and breach of contract.

We represented a City and Water Company in a complex water/power case involving not only Indian water rights but also the first contested Federal Energy Regulatory Commission hydroelectric project re-licensing case.
