If your loved one was injured in a nursing home, it’s a good idea to meet with the right attorney.  Such an attorney should have plenty of experience in Florida Nursing Home Abuse and Negligence cases.

Aren't all lawyers qualified equally?

An experienced nursing home abuse and negligence lawyer will understand and explain all your options.  Such an attorney will look for every responsible party.

Oftentimes, it’s not immediately obvious who injured a nursing home resident. Available evidence is often incomplete.  Furthermore, available evidence not easily demonstrate the staff’s normal pattern of behavior.   Discussing your situation with an experienced attorney can help you navigate the legal system on your road to justice.

Dealing with the nursing home’s insurance company directly is never in your best interest. Remember, the insurance adjuster’s goal is to use information you provide as a means to minimize your claim.

Also, not all personal injury lawyers understand nursing home abuse or nursing home negligence claims. That's because nursing home injury laws differ from laws governing other types of injuries. Furthermore, nursing home abuse legal claims can be very complex and expensive to pursue. Consequently, many attorneys often farm these cases out to other lawyers and collect a referral fee.

An Experienced Attorney Looks at the Chain of Liability

A skilled nursing home abuse and negligence lawyer looks at every aspect of your case. For example, you might think your claim should be solely against the nursing home.  However, your claim might need to also be against the agency that screened the nurse who committed the abuse.

Only an experienced nursing home abuse and negligence attorney can determine which people or entities should be held liable. For example, a victim may think they have a nursing home abuse claim; however, they may actually have a claim against a nursing home vendor or the company that installed the failed security system (when an outside caused the injury).

If you were injured or if a loved one was injured or killed as a result of Nursing Home Abuse or Negligence, you have the right to a qualified attorney who is skilled in Florida's complex nursing home law and is knowledgeable about your type of injuries.
