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.

Testimonials
Not only were they so professional but also so caring and thoughtful. It was very difficult going over the facts in our mother's case but they were so compassionate and understanding and allowed us to be with them every step of the way. We were able to sit in on the depositions and we were really able to see how hard they worked on our behalf.
During that time, my family and I suffered the loss of my mother. Mr. Levin and Mr. Perconti were more than just our lawyers. Words can’t really express our gratitude.
They were most patient and responded timely to many questions throughout the entire process. All demonstrated professionalism and extensive knowledge of case and state laws. Their in-depth investigative work uncovered details which were unknown to us and yet sadly confirmed our suspicions. We would recommend the Levin and Perconti Law firm and especially this team.
During that time, my family and I suffered the loss of my mother. Mr. Levin and Mr. Peconti were more than just our lawyers. Words can’t really express our gratitude. My family and I will always be grateful for the compassion that they showed us. I want to thank you for what you did for my family, and for always being there for us.
Margaret’s representation, guidance, and professionalism gave us the sense that we could put our trust in Levin & Perconti and the final outcome proved that to be true.
