WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"​We proudly endorse The Bratton Firm as our partner in helping facilities and health plans work through issues related to third-party recoveries, including navigating that complex legal and regulatory framework to ensure the maximum outcome.
​
Louis Bratton has over 40 years of experience in personal injury litigation and third-party liability reimbursement claims. The Bratton Firm is designed to handle these third-party liability hospital balance recoveries utilizing hospital liens and/or the consents to treat, as well as handling third-party subrogation claims on a nationwide basis for employee health benefit/hospital districts/indigent /worker’s compensation/disability plans. The Firm’s attorneys will undertake a turnkey operation, which removes the entire burden from your team, and are available to supervise and advise on any litigation arising from these cases, at no additional charge to THA members.
​
It is critical you engage a firm with the expertise and background to identify recovery opportunities, investigate and prosecute claims to conclusion, understand the nuances of personal injury law and the collection process, recognize the strengths and weaknesses of an underlying claim, negate any factual misrepresentations made by the plaintiff’s attorney, and navigate any effort to manipulate settlement efforts. The Bratton Firm has the skill and knowledge to maximize your success and counter the TTLA-promoted tactics used to reduce or eliminate your reimbursement.
​
THA trusts Louis Bratton and his team and cannot recommend them in stronger terms. Whether dealing with the Texas Lien Law in Chapter 55 of the Property Code or claims subject to Chapter 140 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code, The Bratton Firm has the ability to work with you and your team to maximize recoveries and avoid all potential pitfalls. These provisions either require an attorney or allow for fees, so skilled, knowledgeable counsel is incredibly helpful when working through these claims.
​
We know you will find success with The Bratton Firm and hope you will reach out to Louis for any additional information you might need.

"We always thought there were more recoverable losses, but we had no idea it was possible to be so successful...
​by tracking down such a high volume of subrogation claims. The Bratton Firm far exceeded our expectations.”

"In today's highly adversarial healthcare climate, relying on the support of experienced and trustworthy legal allies is invaluable.
In particular, navigating hospital lien third-party recoveries can be a complex and time-consuming process.
The Bratton Firm works with revenue cycle teams to collect accident patients' balances such as self-pay, out-of-network, and copay and deductible balances from the individual who injured the accident victim. You can eliminate your overhead as their services are provided on a competitive contingency fee basis, and all expenses are included.
THA endorses The Bratton Firm as top legal counsel to ensure swift and full recoveries, making them one of the few firms we endorse and the only firm we endorse for third-party recoveries. We value our partnership by working alongside The Bratton Firm during the legislative sessions. Their effort exemplified their adroit knowledge and legal acumen as well as their tenacity in the legal environment.
It is without hesitation that THA recommends The Bratton Firm Subrogation Services for our members.
