Drug Rehab Lawyers

ThePhillyLawyers handle personal injury and wrongful death claims against drug and alcohol facilities, halfway houses, drug rehabs, drug treatment programs, boot camps, and group homes for unsafe conditions and inadequate security or supervision.

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities, or “drug or alcohol rehab” centers are supposed to be safe, and they are supposed to care for those who need extra supervision and care during their recovery and rehabilitation.

Unfortunately, due to understaffing, inadequate training, and the facility’s failure follow safety rules and protocols, our most vulnerable can suffer harm from the mistreatment or negligence of the facility and its staff. When the facility does not provide reasonable care and a resident is injured, the facility should be held accountable. It is important to hold the rehab facility accountable for the harm they already caused to you, or your loved one, and to deter them from causing future harm to others.

Liability claims against drug rehabs

If you, or your loved one, suffered a serious personal injury or death due to the negligence of a drug and alcohol treatment facility, rehabilitation center, group home, or halfway house, and the facility’s negligence caused the harm, we can help can help hold the facility accountable. When a rehab facility’s negligence causes injuries or death, the facility should pay compensation for the harm they caused.

Depending on the specific facts and circumstances, you may be entitled to receive compensation for damages for: pain and suffering, loss in life’s pleasure, loss of consortium, disability and disfigurement, emotional suffering, and medical costs and wages lost related to your recovery. In some cases, if the rehab facility’s conduct is shockingly bad, punitive damages can be awarded. Punitive damages are intended to punish a wrongdoer.

There are many different types of claims that can be brought against negligent treatment facilities. Some of them include:

  • Rehab center negligence
  • Professional malpractice
  • Inadequate medical services or medical malpractice
  • Negligence in failing to protect residents
  • Negligence in failing to follow regulations
  • Drug overdose because of inadequate supervision and/or failure to follow rules and regulations
  • Wrongful death
  • Inadequate or negligent security that results in assault or injury
  • Sexual or physical abuse from other residents
  • Sexual or physical abuse from staff members
  • Negligent supervision or retention of a staff member who injured a resident
  • Premises liability

Alcohol and drug treatment facilities need to exercise reasonable care. For certain types of rehab facilities, there are regulations from the Pennsylvania state Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs. The facilities with more transparency, regulations, and safety protocols tend to be safer. But many rehabs sacrifice safety for a quick profit or because they feel it is too hard to follow the rules.

When ThePhillyLawyers prepares a case against treatment facilities, we investigate, we prepare, and we fight for justice.

If you, or someone you care about, has been severely injured, or died, while at a drug treatment center, rehab, halfway house, or any kind of program, you need a lawyer with experience who will invest the time, energy, and resources necessary to hold the facility/program accountable to achieve justice and proper compensation for you, your family, or your loved one’s estate.

Call us today at ThePhillyLawyers: 215-884-9300. You pay us nothing unless we recover money for you.
