Frequently Asked Questions

This question must be answered on a case-by-case basis. Nursing home abuse and negligence cases are both complex and challenging to prove. These cases greatly benefit from an injury lawyer with extensive knowledge and experience in nursing home abuse law. If you believe your loved one was injured due to negligence or nursing home abuse, you should seek legal help without delay.

In the aftermath of learning about a loved one being severely or fatally harmed, families may feel angry and confused, and rightly so. This is something the insurance company may use to their advantage, especially knowing you are likely not fully aware of all your rights. The liable insurance company may contact you soon after being notified of the incident in an attempt to resolve the matter quickly and at a much lower cost for them. This outcome is not beneficial for you or your loved one, as any settlement they offer is likely far less than the value of your claim. An attorney can dispute these low offers and help to ensure you receive the full and fair compensation you deserve.
