Hipaa Violation Legal Steps

Summary

If you believe a company violated HIPAA, you can file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) or the Utah Department of Health. You typically have 180 days from the incident to file a complaint. Some attorneys may take your case on a contingency fee basis or pro bono. In Utah, parental rights include making decisions about the childs upbringing, education, and healthcare, even if visitation is restricted. If your ex-spouse is denying you contact with your children, you can consult a family lawyer and file a motion for enforcement or modification of the custody order. If your ex-husbands false statements have led to defamation, consult a local attorney.

They act only on my ex-husband statements
