A nursing home abuse and neglect lawyer can be the difference between a nursing home being held accountable or a nursing home able to sweep its conduct under the rug. Lawyers have many abilities that can empower you to hold a nursing home accountable. For example, lawyers can gather information to try and learn what really caused your loved one’s injuries. Depending on the information learned, the lawyer can then start a lawsuit that will seek justice to hold the nursing home accountable for its conduct. Nursing home abuse lawyers have many abilities that may be of assistance to you, including the following:
- Subpoena and review the nursing home’s internal documents.
- Depose witnesses who were in the nursing home when your loved one was injured.
- Speak with former employees who can testify about the abuse and neglect.
- Hire experts to give opinions about the nursing home’s abuse.
- Bring your abuse and neglect case to a jury verdict.
- Obtain a settlement or verdict on your behalf.
There are many attorneys that may be willing to handle your case. But an experienced and knowledgeable attorney can make all the difference in helping you bring the nursing home to justice. Check review sites like Super Lawyers or Avvo, to learn more about how third-parties evaluate the lawyers. Investigate the lawyer’s experience and results to see whether they really know about nursing home abuse and neglect litigation. Compare their skills, flexibility, and compatibility to determine if their rate is fair and if their services are worth what you’ll be getting for your money.
