Residential Treatment Center Abuse

We entrust behavioral health facilities and residential treatment centers (RTCs) to help those suffering from a variety of health issues. Unfortunately, RTC abuse is a common occurrence, as vulnerable, helpless patients are victimized with seemingly no repercussions.

Types of Abuse Encountered

At RTC Lawyers, we understand that a multitude of issues can contribute to the emotional and physical deterioration of a patient in a behavioral health facility. We aggressively litigate these treatment centers on your behalf on all issues, including:

• Medication errors
• Assault
• General neglect
• False imprisonment
• Rape and other forms of sexual assault
• Physical and emotional harm
• Wrongful death
• Fraud

We believe that any behavioral health facilities who engage in any of these actions should be held financially accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

Behavioral Health Facility Abuse is Caused by Negligence

At RTC Lawyers, we believe that the behavioral health faculty industry suffers from systemic failures in patient care. Unfortunately, some centers prioritize profits over patient care, resulting in negligent care including:

• Negligent placement. This may involve manipulating or otherwise coercing patients into being diagnosed with an illness so they can be admitted.
• Negligent staffing. Cutting costs can result in a serious decrease in both the quantity and quality of staffing at a center.
• Fraudulent billing. Some centers engage in fraudulent transactions, holding patients until their insurance runs out so they can receive the maximum payment.

Our team of legal professionals believes that all residential treatment centers deserve to be held accountable for any negligent actions leading to the harm of a patient.
