Behavioral Healthcare
HPS can assist on matters relating to behavioral healthcare and breach of privacy in a variety of contexts
Behavioral healthcare litigation concerns claims against psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, counselors and social workers — professionals who have dedicated their careers to serving marginalized and misunderstood communities. Such claims often stem from catastrophic events such as suicide, self-harm, battery and sexual assault. In addition to issues arising from personal injury, these cases also can involve civil rights issues and a range of state and local statutory schemes.
HPS has successfully defended hundreds of behavioral healthcare professionals in state courts in Illinois, Nevada, Florida and California, as well as in federal court. They are experts in responding to these complex matters.
