Healthcare Attorney in Colorado

Care Providers Must Be Honest About Their Services

Reinan Law’s healthcare attorneys in Colorado specialize in consumer protection in healthcare cases. The Colorado Consumer Protection Act prohibits businesses from engaging in deceptive trade practices. Common examples of consumer deception that our Healthcare Attorneys in Colorado at Reinan Law 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)
• Keeping a patient for whom the facility knows it cannot safely and adequately care
• 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)
• Misrepresentation of specialty, licensure or credentials

There are different levels of care facilities available on the market. At Reinan Law, our healthcare attorneys in Colorado understand that an assisted living facility is very different from a nursing home and is subject to different regulations. Some facilities also provide, within the facility, different levels of care. For example, a nursing home may have a rehabilitation unit and a locked dementia unit. It is the responsibility of the care facility to fully and truthfully explain these issues to you. Reinan Law’s healthcare lawyers for patients have dealt with many cases of Colorado nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and mental healthcare providers making promises that they know are not true in order to get you or your loved one admitted to their facility. If this has happened to you or a loved one, you may want to consider hiring a nursing home and healthcare attorney from Reinan Law.

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, the healthcare attorneys in Colorado at Reinan Law can help you evaluate and pursue a consumer protection in healthcare claim against the deceiving nursing home or assisted living facility. Reinan Law’s healthcare and nursing home attorneys are dedicated healthcare lawyers for patients. Learn more about how our wrongful death law firm can help you win your case.
