Causes of Physical & Emotional Harm

Physical and emotional harm in a residential treatment center can occur for a number of reasons.

• Staff may be physically and verbally abusive.
• Patients may suffer harm from other patients due to negligent placement.
• Overcrowding of facilities may take a toll on the wellbeing of patients.
• The center may be understaffed to better serve all patients.

In all circumstances, negligence played a factor in the harm of patients.

Who Is Liable for Physical and Emotional Harm?

Although abusive staff may be direct causes of physical and emotional harm in RTC patients, the RTC may be ultimately liable for any instances of harm. Residential treatment centers must uphold a duty of care to their patients, which includes ensuring that their staff is able to take care of them without incident.
