Why You Need a Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer After Suspected Abuse
When your loved one has been hurt, the nursing home’s first priority isn’t making things right—it’s protecting themselves from liability.

Navigating Complex
Legal Claims
Nursing home abuse cases involve complicated medical issues, federal and state regulations, and multiple parties who might share responsibility. Without experienced legal representation, you’ll never uncover the full scope of what happened or hold all responsible parties accountable.
Understanding Insurance Company Tactics
Nursing homes and their insurance companies know exactly how to minimize their liability. They’ll claim your loved one’s injuries were due to pre-existing conditions, that they fell because of their own frailty, or that their health problems were inevitable. These tactics are designed to make families doubt themselves and accept inadequate compensation.
Understanding Statute of Limitations
Evidence in nursing home cases disappears quickly. We act immediately to preserve evidence, including medical records, staffing schedules, and witness testimony. Miss these critical early steps, and you may never be able to prove what really happened to your loved one.
What to Do After Suspected Nursing Home Abuse
Taking the right steps after discovering abuse can protect your loved one and preserve your legal claim.
See What Your Case Is WorthHave your loved one examined by an independent physician who can document injuries and provide proper treatment outside the facility’s influence.
Take photographs of any injuries, keep copies of all medical records, and write down names of staff members involved.
Note when incidents occurred and any concerning behaviors you’ve observed from staff or changes in your loved one.
Contact your state’s Department of Health, Adult Protective Services, and the nursing home administrator to get official reports on file.
Collect incident reports, medical records, and any communications with facility staff before they can be altered or destroyed.
If possible and safe to do so, consider moving your loved one to a different facility or arranging alternative care.
Facilities may try to downplay incidents or suggest your loved one is “difficult”—trust your instincts about what you’re seeing.
We offer free consultations and will meet you wherever is convenient to start protecting your loved one’s rights.

Injury Lawyers Who Fight to Win
From the moment you contact us, you’ll notice the difference in our approach. We treat you like family because we are family-run. Our client-first philosophy means we take the time to understand not just the details of your accident but how it has affected your life, your work, your family, and your future.
We understand that being injured is stressful enough without having to chase down your lawyer for updates. That’s why we’ve built our practice around transparent, consistent communication. When you hire us, you’ll have direct access to the attorney handling your case as well as a dedicated paralegal who monitors its daily status. We keep you informed throughout every stage of your claim, explaining what’s happening, what to expect next, and how it affects your case.
With over 80 years of experience fighting accident victims, we’ve built a reputation as battle-tested advocates who know how to win. Our attorneys have successfully handled thousands of cases. We’ve gone toe-to-toe with the biggest insurance companies and won. Our courtroom experience means we’re always prepared to take your case to trial if that’s what it takes to secure fair compensation. This willingness to fight—and our track record of success—often motivates insurance companies to offer better settlements to avoid facing us in court.

The Hard Truth
Nursing Home Abuse Statistics That Demand Action
The statistics are heartbreaking, and as your advocates, we believe you deserve to know what we’re up against.
One in five high-risk emergency room visits by Medicare beneficiaries residing in skilled nursing facilities were potentially the result of abuse or neglect, according to the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General—yet most families never learn the truth about what really happened to their loved one.
Only 1 in 24 cases of elder abuse are reported to authorities, meaning the vast majority of abuse remains hidden while facilities continue operating as if nothing happened.
Nursing home abuse deficiencies more than doubled from 430 in 2013 to 875 in 2017, with violent injuries against older adults costing the healthcare system $33 billion annually—costs that ultimately fall on families and taxpayers.
Leading Causes of Nursing Home Abuse
Most nursing home abuse is completely preventable, which is what makes these cases so maddening. Understanding these causes helps us build stronger cases and hold all responsible parties accountable.
Nursing Home Abuse Injuries We Represent
The injuries we see in these cases are often severe and life-changing, made worse because they happen to people who are already vulnerable.
