Home Health Care Negligence

Home Care Malpractice

The requirements for receiving a license to provide home healthcare in Connecticut and Massachusetts are supposed to ensure that patients are provided professional care. Too many home health care providers, however, cut corners and save costs by hiring unqualified or poorly trained employees. Every year, thousands of sick and elderly people who rely on professional care are injured because of home health care negligence.

Why we fight for victims of in-home care negligence

At the Advocates Law Firm, LLC, we believe that victims and attorneys need to hold home respite care and health care providers accountable for the injuries that result from negligence. Only when healthcare providers are held liable for the injuries caused by their misconduct will the level of care improve. We help victims and their families seek full compensation for the damage done to them.

Examples of home health care negligence

We seek compensation for clients who have experienced injuries and illnesses such as:

• Assault and physical abuse
• Injury or death from inadequate medical monitoring
• Dehydration
• Malnutrition
• Medication errors
• Falls and broken bones
• Inadequate hygiene

Whether the injury was caused by a nurse, aide or other in-home caregiver, our lawyers will build a strong case for full compensation.
