Staffing company says home health firm owes money

A Harris County man is suing over claims his company has not been reimbursed for staffing provided to a rehabilitation company.

Orlando Bejarano, doing business as Focus Therapy Staffing, filed a lawsuit Oct. 20 in Galveston County District Court against Bolton Healthcare, doing business as Guardian Angel Home Health Care, citing breach of an agreement.

According to the complaint, Focus Therapy Staffing entered into an agreement with Guardian Angel Home Health Care to provide the defendant with its home rehabilitation staff for reimbursement and interest on late payments. The plaintiff says it sent monthly invoices to the defendant for the services rendered to its patients but the defendant owed more than $28,000 as of Oct. 17. The defendant is accused of breaching the agreement or, in the alternative, unjust enrichment.

Bejarano seeks actual damages, attorney fees and costs of court.

He is represented by attorneys Carl Jay Quezeda and Gregory P. Crinion of Crinion Davis & Richardson in Houston.
