NURSING HOME NEGLECT OR ABUSE

Many families making life care decisions, envision a life where their loved one can live in a nursing homes or long-term care facility and receive the care and professional attention that the family can no longer provide. If a nursing home is not properly run or adequately staffed, our loved ones can become the victim of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. The elderly need and deserve the best care and protection we can provide, however, unfortunately inadequate staffing or an inadequately trained personnel can leave them vulnerable to neglect.

Florida law protects the dignity of the elderly by requiring nursing homes to respect the rights of its residents. The law is designed to protect nursing home residents’ from abuse, neglect, or exploitation.

If a loved one seems to have developed skin breakdown, nutritional problems, has fallen, suffered from medication errors or has been neglected or abused by the staff, they may have a claim against the nursing home.

Our team approach utilizes my experience and the experience of my paralegal, who is a former insurance adjuster. Working as a team for you, we are able to provide the necessary skill to help you deal with issues that you cannot handle on your own. All insurance companies have teams of highly trained claims adjusters, lawyers, and investigators whose job is to represent the interests of their insured who is typically the party that caused your injuries. The insurance company does not represent your interests and you cannot rely upon them to deal with you fairly. In order to insure that you are being treated fairly you need to have legal representation for your interests.

I accept these cases on a contingency fee basis so that the attorney fees and costs are collected from the recovery that we are able to obtain for you.
