HIPAA Compliance for Solo Attorneys

Personal injury lawyers and solo practitioners need HIPAA compliance too. Get the protection you need with solutions designed for small firms and individual attorneys in Dallas.

Why Solo Practitioners Can't Ignore HIPAA

Critical facts every solo attorney in Dallas needs to know

NO SIZE EXEMPTION

HIPAA applies equally to solo attorneys handling medical records. There's no small firm exception - penalties are the same regardless of practice size.

PERSONAL LIABILITY

As a solo practitioner, you're personally liable for HIPAA violations. No corporate shield protects your personal assets from penalties.

CLIENT REQUIREMENTS

Healthcare providers and insurance companies increasingly require HIPAA compliance before sending records, even to solo attorneys.

SEVERE PENALTIES

HIPAA violations average $1.9 million in penalties. One violation could end your practice and impact your personal finances.

INSURANCE IMPACT

Professional liability insurance may not cover HIPAA violations without documented compliance programs in place.

COMPETITIVE EDGE

HIPAA-compliant attorneys win more healthcare-related cases as providers prefer working with compliant legal partners.

Common Concerns from Solo Attorneys

Addressing your questions about HIPAA compliance

"I only handle a few medical cases - do I really need this?"

Yes. HIPAA doesn't have a volume threshold. Handling even one medical record makes you a business associate with full compliance obligations. One violation can result in devastating penalties.

"Can't I just use templates from the internet?"

Generic templates don't address the unique ways law firms handle PHI. They miss critical elements like litigation holds, discovery processes, and attorney-client privilege considerations that OCR auditors examine.

"How much time will this take from my practice?"

Our streamlined process requires only 2-4 hours of your time total. We handle the heavy lifting while you focus on your clients. Most implementation happens behind the scenes.

"Will this actually protect me from penalties?"

Yes. Our compliance program meets all HIPAA requirements and has successfully protected 200+ law firms through OCR audits. No client following our program has ever received a penalty.

"What if I've already been non-compliant?"

Starting compliance now demonstrates good faith effort to OCR. We help you remediate past issues and implement proper safeguards moving forward, significantly reducing penalty risk.

"Is this really necessary for my solo practice?"

Absolutely. Solo practitioners face the same HIPAA requirements as large firms, but with greater personal risk. Compliance protects both your practice and personal assets.
