Why You Need a Lawyer for Rehab Center Injuries
Rehab centers are supposed to provide safe environments, but neglect and poor staffing can cause serious harm. As a former insurance company attorney, I know how insurers defend these cases and how to prove negligence. I pursue compensation for medical costs, pain, suffering, and long-term consequences of injuries that happen when facilities fail to meet their duty of care.
Common Causes of Rehab Center Injuries in Los Angeles
Falls due to inadequate supervision, medication errors, untreated infections, physical abuse, poor nutrition, and unsafe conditions occur in facilities throughout the Valley, from Van Nuys to Santa Monica. I investigate staff training, facility policies, medical records, and prior complaints to show how the injury happened and who is responsible.
What To Do If You Suspect Neglect or Abuse
Seek immediate medical care, request treatment records, and document visible injuries or unsafe conditions with photos if possible. Report concerns to the facility and state licensing authorities. Contact me before giving detailed statements to insurers or facility representatives. I will take over communications and protect your rights.
