A teacher violated my hippa rights an forced another parent to attack me an my child at the school.by telling the parent personal information.

The teacher has nothing to do with your health care provider. HIPAA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Basically it is the same thing as doctor/patient privilege.

There was no HIPAA violation here. What makes you think there was?

[mizzbossi27]

Okay well can I sue the school for me being attacked an slander by the teacher?

You can sue the person who actually attacked you, And you can press criminal charges against the person who attacked you. ( will assume you called the police when it happened)

If you can prove the slander and prove it is what caused the attack you can sue the teacher.

Thank you!

"by telling the parent personal information." was this information accurate and true? What was the information that caused another party to attach you? As previously mention, this has nothing to do with HIPAA

[Fr_Chuck]

Agree, I did not say it, but this has nothing at all to do with HIPAA ( unless it was perhaps a school nurse who gave out medical info about someone she treated)

But the information given out has to be false and you will have to prove it is normally

I'm wondering what a teacher might have said that would "force" another parent to attack. Obviously if you were attacked by another parent then that other parent is the one to go after, not the teacher.

It would help us help you if you gave us the full story. Clearly you misunderstand the law by thinking this was a HIPAA violation. For us the judge whether you really have case against anyone we really need more details about what happened.
