Filing a legal claim involving nursing home abuse, neglect, or wrongful death can be a daunting process, but you do not have to go through it alone. The process typically begins with a confidential consultation, during which we take the time to listen to your concerns and evaluate the facts surrounding your case. We then conduct a comprehensive investigation to determine whether legal grounds exist for a claim. This includes reviewing documentation, speaking with witnesses, and analyzing any relevant healthcare or incident reports.
If we determine that a claim is justified, we move quickly to file a formal complaint against the responsible parties. This could involve the nursing home facility, its management, individual caregivers, or third-party contractors. The complaint outlines the specific instances of abuse or neglect, the legal violations committed, and the damages sought—both economic and non-economic. From there, we handle all communications, negotiations, and litigation, if necessary, to protect your interests.

We hold negligent nursing homes and staff accountable by building strong, evidence-based cases, and we work relentlessly to uncover patterns of abuse or neglect that have harmed our clients or their families.
Once a claim is officially filed, the case typically enters the discovery phase, which is one of the most critical parts of litigation. During discovery, both parties exchange relevant information, documentation, and evidence. Our team will handle all aspects of this process, including obtaining medical records, interviewing witnesses, and securing facility logs or surveillance footage.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you suspect abuse or neglect, it’s important to act quickly to protect your loved one. Start by documenting any signs of abuse or neglect, such as unexplained injuries, withdrawal, or unsanitary living conditions. Speak with your loved one if possible, and consider moving them to a safer environment if necessary. Contact the nursing home administration, local adult protective services, or law enforcement to report your concerns. Additionally, it’s crucial to consult an experienced attorney who can guide you through the legal process and ensure your loved one’s rights are protected.
Nursing home abuse involves intentional harm or mistreatment of a resident, which can include physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, as well as financial exploitation. On the other hand, nursing home negligence occurs when staff or caregivers fail to meet the required standard of care, leading to harm or injury to the resident. This can include neglecting basic needs, such as failing to provide proper hygiene, nutrition, or medication, or not responding to emergency situations in a timely manner.
Wrongful death occurs when someone dies due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another party. This can include fatal accidents, medical malpractice, car accidents, defective products, or criminal actions. In a wrongful death case, the surviving family members, such as a spouse, children, or parents, can file a lawsuit to seek compensation for their loss. This compensation may cover funeral expenses, medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship. If you believe your loved one’s death was caused by another party's actions, it’s important to consult with an attorney to explore your legal options and pursue justice.
