Know Your Rights

Understanding your legal situation is the first step to protecting your rights and getting fair compensation.

1

How HHS OCR Investigations Work

The HHS Office for Civil Rights investigates complaints and self-reported breaches. Investigations involve document requests, staff interviews, and on-site audits. Legal counsel manages all communications, ensures privilege, and shapes the investigation narrative from the outset.

2

Civil Monetary Penalties — Four Tiers of Liability

HHS HIPAA penalties range from $100 to $50,000 per violation category (not knowing, reasonable cause, willful neglect corrected, willful neglect uncorrected), with annual caps. Defense attorneys challenge the tier, number of violations, and negotiate resolution agreements that minimize total penalties.

3

Breach Response and Mitigation

Proper breach response — including forensic investigation, notification procedures, and OCR reporting — directly affects penalty exposure. Defense counsel manages breach response, ensures proper notification, and documents corrective action that mitigates penalty severity.
