People go into treatment and rehab facilities to get better, not to be harmed. When a place that's supposed to help a vulnerable patient neglects, mistreats, or endangers them instead, patients and their families are often left shocked and unsure what to do. We handle cases about what happens to patients inside these facilities. These cases are about mistreatment in the facility, not about the addiction or condition that brought someone there. If your or a loved one was hurt in an addiction treatment center, a mental health facility, or a residential program, tell us what happened.
We handle cases involving addiction and drug or alcohol rehab centers, psychiatric and mental health facilities, and residential and adolescent treatment programs. The harm often looks like:
Some treatment facilities are run more like a business than a place of care. When a facility cuts staffing, admits patients it can’t safely handle, or keeps someone longer than needed in order to bill their insurance, patients get hurt. We’ve taken on facilities that put their finances ahead of the people in their care, and we know how to dig into how a facility actually operates.
We don’t take every case, and we’ll be honest with you about yours. The strongest ones usually have a clear, serious injury, records or witnesses, and a facility failure we can point to. Treatment records, incident reports, and staffing information often tell the real story, and getting them is part of what we do.
We take fewer cases than most firms so we can give each one the attention it needs. Jerome Reinan has tried more than 50 jury trials and spent his early career defending hospitals, nursing homes, and mental health providers before switching sides in 1999 to represent patients and families. That background means he understands how these facilities operate and how they defend themselves. You get a lawyer who knows this work and will tell you the truth about your case.
We're based in Denver and represent families across Colorado, Wyoming, and Minnesota.
Often, yes. When a facility's neglect or abuse harms a patient, that facility can be held accountable, the same as any other business that fails the people it's responsible for. The details of your situation determine what kind of claim fits.
That usually doesn't excuse a facility from caring for someone safely. Signed paperwork can affect how a case proceeds, so we'll review it, but it rarely means a facility is off the hook for real harm.
Not usually. These cases are about how a facility cared for and protected a patient, its staffing, supervision, and safety, rather than a single medical decision. We focus on facility neglect and abuse, not routine medical malpractice.
We handle cases on a contingency fee, so you don't pay attorney fees unless we recover for you.
