Healthcare Consumer Protection

Healthcare Consumer Protection

The Colorado Consumer Protection Act prohibits businesses from engaging in deceptive trade practices. Common examples of healthcare consumer deception that we see include:

• False advertising
• Deceptive admissions practices (e.g., admitting patients to a facility for whom the facility knows it is not capable of providing adequate care, and as a result a patient suffers a personal injury or wrongful death)
• Deceptive non-disclosures (e.g., failing to inform consumers truthful information about the facility, and as a result a patient suffers a personal injury or wrongful death)

Some Colorado nursing homes and assisted living facilities make promises they know are not true in order to get you or your loved one to move in to their facility.

There are also many situations in which a nursing home or assisted living facility knows it is not staffed or equipped to care for medically complex residents, yet admits them nonetheless. When these deceptive practices cause you or your loved one to suffer a personal injury or wrongful death, we can help you evaluate and pursue a consumer protection claim against the deceiving nursing home or assisted living facility.
