Recently, a close friend "Googled" herself and found among the search results a link to a highly confidential piece of correspondence from one of her physicians to another regarding the state of her health. It is unclear how this document made it to the internet but it appears to be the result of negligence on behalf of one or both of the physicians and/or hospitals with whom they are affiliated.
My friend is interested in consulting with a personal injury lawyer in South Jersey (the greater Philadelphia area - I believe the physicians are based out of Cherry Hill) who has experience dealing with HIPAA violations of this nature to discuss her rights and any potential cause(s) of action she might have. Any referrals you could provide would be much appreciated.
