The aftermath of discovering abuse can turn your world upside down instantly. Bills pile up, administrators make excuses, and you wonder how this happened to someone you trusted them to protect. But the nursing home and their insurers are already working against you.

Navigating Complex
Legal Claims
Car accident claims involve complicated legal processes that most people aren’t equipped to handle on their own. Determining fault, establishing negligence, calculating long-term damages, and interpreting insurance policies requires specialized knowledge. Without proper legal representation, you risk making costly mistakes that could reduce your compensation or result in your claim being denied entirely.
Understanding Insurance Company Tactics
Nursing homes carry extensive liability insurance designed to minimize payouts when residents are harmed. These insurers have legal teams whose job is to deny claims, shift blame to pre-existing conditions, or argue that injuries were unavoidable.
Understanding Statute of Limitations
In Indiana, you have two years from when abuse was discovered to file a lawsuit. This timeline is tricky because abuse often goes undetected for months. Miss these deadlines, and you lose your right to compensation forever.
What to Do After Discovering Nursing Home Abuse
The actions you take immediately after discovering abuse can make or break your case.
See What Your Case Is WorthHave your loved one examined by an independent physician to document injuries and assess their current condition.
Contact Adult Protective Services and file a complaint with the Indiana State Department of Health.
Take photographs of injuries, unsanitary conditions, or any evidence of neglect you observe.
Request copies of all medical records, incident reports, and care plans from the facility.
Talk to other residents, family members, and staff who may have witnessed the abuse.
Avoid giving detailed statements to nursing home administrators or their insurance representatives.
Save all medical bills, correspondence, and document any changes in your loved one’s condition.
The sooner we start working, the better we can protect your loved one’s interests and preserve crucial evidence.

The Hard Truth
Indiana Nursing Home Abuse Statistics That Demand Action
The numbers don’t lie—Indiana has a serious nursing home problem, and here’s what gets us fired up about fighting for your family.
In Indiana, 1,861 complaints were filed against nursing homes in 2023, with 86% verified as substantiated abuse, neglect, or exploitation. These aren’t paperwork violations—these are real families suffering because facilities put profits over people’s.
Nationwide, one in three Medicare residents experiences harm in nursing homes, with 59% of these events being completely preventable.
The causes are preventable, which makes these tragedies even more infuriating: Indiana facilities average only 3.54 hours of nursing care per resident daily—13% below recommended minimums.
Leading Causes of Nursing Home Abuse
Most nursing home abuse is preventable, which is what makes these cases so maddening. Understanding these causes helps us build stronger cases and prevent future harm.
Nursing Home Abuse Injuries We Represent
Nursing home abuse doesn’t cause minor inconveniences—it causes serious harm to the people who trusted these facilities with their lives.
Compensation Available for Indiana Nursing Home Abuse Victims
If you or a family member have been harmed by nursing home abuse or neglect, you may be entitled to various types of compensation:
Economic Damages
These include medical expenses (past, current, and future), caregiver wages, alternative care costs, rehabilitation expenses, home modifications, and in-home nursing costs.
Non-Economic Damages
These subjective damages compensate for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, humiliation and dignity loss, and loss of consortium (impact on family relationships).
Punitive Damages
In cases involving extreme recklessness or intentional misconduct by nursing home staff or administration, Indiana courts may award punitive damages designed to punish wrongdoers and deter similar behavior.
Wrongful Death Damages
When nursing home abuse or neglect results in death, surviving family members may recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and the pain and suffering of their loved one before death.
