When we place a family member in a skilled nursing facility we are entrusting the facility to provide the medical and emotional support that the individual needs to function at the highest possible level. This entrustment to care for our loved ones is moral and legal in nature. Unfortunately, many facilities are ignoring this obligation by intentionally accepting a maximum number of patients staffed with caregivers who are dreadfully overworked and underpaid. The end result is large numbers of patients receiving poor care which ultimately results in injury or death.
As nursing home negligence attorneys, our network of attorneys is committed to holding negligent facilities fully accountable for harm to innocent patients. We represent the interests of individuals — never do we represent facilities or corporations.
Our network includes some of the top trial lawyers in the United States, who have experience working on nursing home negligence cases in jurisdictions across the country. When we refer a matter to an affiliated attorney who is licensed in your area you can be assured that you are working with the best of the best.
Some lawyers may pay referral fees to other network lawyers. These referral fees do not impact any financial award that you may be entitled to and will be fully explained in the agreement with your lawyer.

Generally, the need to contact an attorney arises when a patient at a facility suffers significant harm as a consequence of negligently performed care. Common examples of situations where a family may seek out an attorney include:
Regardless of the circumstances surrounding the reason why you are contacting our office, you can be assured that you can speak to an attorney experienced in nursing home litigation.
Every nursing home injury and wrongful death case is handled on a contingency fee basis. Under this arrangement, you do not need to pay any fees out of your pocket. Attorneys in our network receive a fee only when there is a financial recovery for you. Once you retain a network lawyer, the lawyer will advance costs to prosecute your case including medical records, expert fees, and court costs. If your lawyer is unable to secure a financial recovery for you, the lawyer(s) will absorb those expenses and you owe us nothing. This fee arrangement is written out and you will receive a complete copy of the terms of the arrangement.
Every jurisdiction has time constraints for filing a lawsuit. Your failure to take action within the prescribed statute of limitations will forever bar your recovery. Consequently, it is important that you learn your legal rights and options as soon as feasible. We invite you to discuss your case with an experienced nursing home negligence lawyer who will listen to your concerns and advise you if we can assist. You can contact our network of attorneys via our online case intake form or by telephone at (800) 926-7565. We look forward to working with you.
