The most common questions about working with a lawyer in a nursing home abuse case - answered by our experienced team. 

Working With a Lawyer

How do I know if I have a case worth pursuing? 

The clearest way to know is a free, no-obligation case review with an attorney who handles nursing home abuse cases regularly. They can assess the facts, request records, and tell you honestly whether pursuing a claim makes sense. 
 

What should I look for in a nursing home abuse lawyer? 

Look for a firm with specific experience litigating nursing home abuse and neglect cases (not just general personal injury), a track record of results, and attorneys who communicate clearly and are willing to take a case to trial if a fair settlement isn't offered. 
 

Will my case go to trial? 

Most cases settle before trial, but a facility is more likely to offer a fair settlement if your attorney is prepared and willing to try the case in court. Ask any prospective attorney about their trial experience, not just their settlement history. 
 

How does the attorney stay in touch with me during the case? 

This varies by firm, but you should expect regular updates at key milestones, a responsive point of contact, and clear answers when you have questions. Ask any firm you're considering how, and how often, they communicate with clients.
