Grounds for Lawsuits Against a Hospice
In addition to wrongful death actions, you can sue a hospice for these claims:
- Breach of contract, if hospice fails to provide the services they promise in the contract or if the hospice fails to follow Georgia’s hospice rules
- Negligence, if your loved one gets injured due to caregiver’s mistake in hospice
- Malpractice, if hospice fails to provide the level of care that another health care provider would have under similar circumstances
- Elder abuse, if they intentionally cause physical or emotional harm, neglect, or financially abuse your loved one
How to Get Help
Your family is already going through an emotional time when your loved one is sick and not expected to get well. If someone else’s mistake takes away the limited time she had left, you have suffered a double loss.
