Serving Philadelphia, Montgomery, Bucks, Delaware, Chester Counties, and Eastern Pennsylvania
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. We handle these cases throughout the state of Pennsylvania.
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.

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:
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.

The team at ThePhillyLawyers, specifically Emmett, Andrew, and Megan, were absolutely top notch in the support of our family during an exceptionally challenging time. We lost a family member to an overdose at a drug and alcohol facility (halfway house). Our family knew from the outset of our loss that something was wrong with the facility. We found out quickly that our family member had been left to die for over 8 hours without anyone noticing him. We reached out to other attorneys and no one would support us. That was until we spoke with Emmett Madden from ThePhillyLawyers and he empathetically listened to our story. They took our case and fought for our family for 3 years. They supported us to a successful settlement and helped us gain some closure after one of the most traumatizing experiences of our lives. We cannot thank them enough and recommend them to anyone dealing with the negligent loss of a loved one. Thank you so much again, Emmett, Andrew, and Megan.
Megan, P.
