Home Health Care Agency Lawsuit

If you or a loved one has suffered injuries or death at the hands of an Illinois home health care agency, we may be able to help you recover compensation for the harms caused to you. Please note that there are time limitations for filing lawsuits against home health care providers in Illinois, so it is important to take action as soon as you suspect abuse or negligence.

Imagine an 85-year-old elderly woman lying mostly paralyzed in a nursing home, unable to properly care, feed, or dress herself. The woman’s daughter, who relatives say had been living in her car with her dog, used the 85-year-old’s social security number to pay for a brand new apartment and took over as her mother’s sole caregiver.

Over the next two years, according to police and court records, the woman took her elderly mother to the doctor only once. As her mother’s health declined, the daughter stopped cooperating altogether, and hired a nurse advise her mother on preventing bedsores.

By the end of that year, the 85-year-old mother, died of septic shock resulting from severe bedsore infections.

Lawsuits Against Home Health Care Agencies

Home health care services provide a wide range of medical care and support to individuals suffering from illnesses or recovering from injuries. Home health care is an alternative to hospital, assisted living, or nursing home care that allows individuals to receive care and treatment in the comfort of their own home. However, like other recipients of long-term care, individuals are at risk, injury, or death when providers fail to provide adequate care, and like nursing home and assisted living residents, home health care recipients have the right to take legal action to hold negligent providers accountable.
