Having an attorney increases your odds of getting the full and fair financial compensation that you deserve after suffering an injury in a nursing home.
Suing a healthcare facility, like a nursing home, can get quite complicated. Having an experienced attorney working on your behalf is important to ensure that each potentially responsible defendant takes accountability for causing your loved one’s harm.
The facility might share liability for the abuse. The facility is responsible for hiring competent employees, training them to give adequate care to residents, and supervising its employees. Failure to do any of these things can lead to the facility facing legal liability for abuse.
The employees might also share liability for causing your loved one’s injuries. Nursing home employees must provide competent and adequate care to residents. Failure to provide proper care can lead to deadly injuries for residents.
If your loved one lived in a state nursing home facility, you might have a claim against the state government for neglect and abuse.
You might be facing an uphill battle when dealing with the insurance company after an instance or pattern of nursing home neglect or abuse. The facility’s insurance company wants to minimize its liability exposure, so it will work hard to disprove your claim. Do not get taken for a ride by the insurance company. An attorney can protect you and your loved one from getting taken advantage of by the insurance company.
Your attorney will use their experience and knowledge to counter common bad-faith tactics by nursing home insurance companies. Examples of these tactics include:
Having an attorney reduces your odds of being a victim of bad-faith tactics from the insurance company. TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers will help you find the right lawyer in your area who will protect your interests if your family is affected by nursing home neglect or abuse.
