Wrongful Death in Treatment
Families who lose a loved one in a Boca Raton treatment facility due to negligent care, improper supervision, or preventable medical failure have the legal right to pursue full accountability from that facility.
IOP & PHP Program Negligence
IOP and PHP programs across the Boca Raton area that provide substandard clinical oversight or inadequate supervision expose vulnerable patients to significant risk and constitute actionable negligence.
Detox & Withdrawal Negligence
Even at Boca Raton's most expensive facilities, dangerous detox protocols, inadequate medical monitoring, and undertrained staff during withdrawal have caused serious injuries and preventable deaths.
Sober Living Home Negligence
Sober living homes in the Boca Raton area that facilitate drug use, exploit patients through patient brokering, or maintain dangerous living conditions are fully liable for the harm they cause.
Sexual Assault by Staff or Patients
Boca Raton treatment programs that fail to screen personnel or maintain safe supervised environments are legally liable for acts of sexual assault or abuse, regardless of their reputation or accreditation status.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions, Serving Boca Raton, FL | Offices in Palm Beach County
South Palm Beach County has seen a significant rise in high-end treatment facility openings over the past decade, along with a corresponding increase in negligence, fraud, and patient harm complaints filed with Florida state regulators.
Can I sue a Boca Raton rehab facility even if it was highly rated or accredited?
Absolutely. Accreditation, luxury amenities, and positive reviews do not absolve a Boca Raton facility of its legal duty to provide safe care. Negligence is actionable regardless of a facility's reputation or price point.
What if the Boca Raton facility had my loved one sign a liability waiver?
Liability waivers in treatment settings are frequently unenforceable under Florida law. A facility cannot legally waive its duty to provide competent professional care. Ryan and Susan will evaluate any waiver as part of your free consultation.
How long do I have to file a rehab malpractice claim in Florida?
Florida generally allows families two years from the date of injury or death to file. Because facilities frequently delay or lose records, contacting an attorney as early as possible is critical for Boca Raton families.
My loved one received expensive private care in Boca Raton. Does that affect our case?
High-cost private care actually increases the expectation of professional competence. Families who paid premium prices for negligent care often have compelling claims for both compensatory and punitive damages.
What types of compensation can our family recover?
Families may recover medical and funeral expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, loss of companionship and guidance, and in cases of egregious misconduct, punitive damages to hold the facility operator accountable and protect future patients.
