Types of Cases We Handle
Negligent Hiring of Untrained or Unsafe Staff
Treatment centers are only as safe as the people they hire. When facilities skip background checks, ignore red flags, or retain staff who have harmed patients, they are gambling with every person in their care.

The Person Who Hurt You Should Not Have Been in That Room
Treatment facilities make deliberate choices about who they hire, what they verify before offering a position, and how closely they supervise the people caring for patients in crisis. When they rush those decisions, skip background checks, or ignore warning signs about a staff member's conduct, they are not making an administrative oversight. They are gambling with the safety of everyone in their care.
How negligence happens:
Facilities hiring untrained or unqualified workers
Staff with active substance use or misconduct issues
Abusive or negligent behavior ignored by management
No supervision, screening, or background checks
If you or your loved one were harmed by a staff member who should never have been hired — or who should have been removed long before the harm occurred — the facility that put them in that room bears direct legal responsibility. Their duty to you began before that staff member ever walked through the door.
We Know What Proper Vetting and Supervision Look Like — and When They Were Skipped
Ryan's background includes years inside the defense of these cases, learning how facilities document — and fail to document — their hiring decisions. He knows which records to request, what gaps to look for, and how to demonstrate that a pattern of negligent oversight existed before the harm occurred. That knowledge shapes how these investigations unfold.
We pursue full accountability for harms caused by negligent hiring and supervision — including physical abuse, assault, medication errors made by unqualified staff, and any injury that resulted from a facility placing the wrong person in a position of trust over vulnerable patients.
