What Makes a Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer Different?

Too many lawyers try to be a jack-of-all trades.  That does not work for nursing home investigations or lawsuits.

True nursing home abuse lawyers know much more than personal injury basics, trial strategy, litigation technique, or the medicine behind the injuries.

In addition to all of that, full-time nursing home abuse lawyers know that full justice can only be achieved in a nursing home lawsuit through micro-application of specific nursing home regulations.

I know those regulations like the back of my hand.  In fact, I have read every page of the original congressional documents and governmental studies which lead to the formation of our current Federal Nursing Home Act.

I didn’t just read them.  I outlined them, and converted them into litigation checklists and weapons that I use to beat negligent nursing homes and their heartless lawyers over the head.

By utilizing discovery techniques which I formulated based on those materials, I prove the nursing home’s shortcuts caused harms that were foreseeable and lead to nursing home residents suffering pressure wounds, falls, and death.

How Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers Can Help You

As an experienced nursing home injury lawyer, my goal with every claim is to prove:

◊   The nursing home resident was vulnerable and susceptible to injury

◊  The nursing home had notice and knowledge of that susceptibility

◊  The nursing home took short cuts which exposed that susceptibility to injury

◊  Those shortcuts broke federal and state safety rules

◊  The nursing home resident was injured resulting from those short cuts

This is a different, and unique, approach that only advanced nursing home abuse lawyers utilize.  Inexperienced nursing home lawyers, or those who only litigate these cases as a jack of all trades, do the following:

◊  Try to prove the nursing home had a duty to do certain medical things

◊  Try to prove the nursing home did not meet those medical treatment standards

◊  Try to prove a medical causation link between those medical breaches and the injuries

That latter strategy is flawed, and is itself susceptible to attack by the nursing homes lawyers.

That’s why I avoid that approach, and force the nursing home’s lawyers to fight us on my battleground, one on which we have a substantial tactical advantage.

To learn the full scope of what a nursing home injury lawyer will do for you in a lawsuit, read my article on nursing home lawsuits, where I outline the entire litigation process, including:

◊  Claim Preparation

◊  Merit Investigations

◊  Advanced Investigations

◊  Nursing Home Discovery

◊ Litigation Challenges

Should You Call a Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer ?

This may come as a sticker shock because most nursing home lawyers don’t disclose this at the outset, but the average nursing home lawsuit costs over $40,000 to litigate.  Experts, depositions, focus groups, and demonstratives are expensive.

Don’t worry, I will pay 100% of those costs for you, and I only get reimbursed at the end of your case, and only if I recover money from the nursing home.  If there is no recovery, you do not owe me a penny.

How is that relevant for you and your decision to hire a nursing home lawyer?

To justify that magnitude of expenses, the injuries must be substantial.

That means not every nursing home injury justifies retention of a lawyer.  There are good and bad reasons to sue a nursing home, but in the end, the injury will dictate the decision.

Here’s a short list of situations where you should always, at the very least, hire a nursing home lawyer to conduct a preliminary investigation:

◊   Stage IV Bed Sore

◊   Fall Resulting in Surgical Fracture

◊   Any Injury Causing Death

◊   Stage III Bed Sore Causing Sepsis/Bacteremia

◊   Delayed Stroke Treatment Causing Major Health Decline

That is not an exhaustive list, but those are situations where I will almost always agree to spend the $3,000-6,000 necessary to investigate your claim for you.

If you’re not sure if your claim is worth pursuing, either due to uncertainty about the negligence or concern about the economics of claim viability, just call me.  I will not charge you for the phone call, it will be free.  You will, at the very least, gain insight from a true nursing home lawyer about what it takes to pursue these claims.

Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer FAQs

Who Has Authority to Hire a Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer

For a nursing home lawyer to be legally able to help you, you must have legal authority to pursue the claim on behalf of the injured resident.

That authority comes from being:

◊   Resident’s Power of Attorney

◊  Resident’s Legal Guardian (Guardianship)

◊  Representative of Deceased Resident’s Estate

◊  Wrongful Death Beneficiary

Many times, family members of the resident contact me before they are in a legal position to pursue the claim.  That is OK, don’t let that stop you from calling a nursing home abuse lawyer and seeking help.  As part of my investigation, I will help you set up a POA, guardianship, or estate to put you in a legal position to pursue the claim.

Nursing Home Investigation Timelines

The investigation phase of your case will take anywhere from 6-12 months.

Here are common challenges that make the process last a long time:

◊  Setting up Estates/Guardianships

◊  Nursing Home Hiding Records

◊  Complex Causation Necessitating Multiple Layers of Expert Review

I have completed nursing home investigations in 5 months.  I have also had some take over 1 1/2 years.  We never know how long it will take until we dig into the process.

Rest assured, though, that once me and my team digs in, we follow through on our investigation and stay with you until that finish line.

How Nursing Home Lawyers Speed Up Case Resolution

Once the investigation is over and I file your lawsuit, there is another 1-3 years of litigation ahead of us before your case fully resolves.

Here’s a quick outline of what nursing home abuse lawyers do during those 1-3 years:

◊  Conduct Written Discovery

◊  Conduct Depositions

◊  Complete Expert Witness Discovery

◊  Partake in Mediations

◊  Trial Prep & Trial-Work

A high quality nursing home lawyer will speed up your case resolution, while maximizing your recovery, by being aggressive in discovery and showing the nursing home that we mean business.

Aggressive case workup will impact how quickly the nursing home comes to the table with real money, which can happen after depositions, after mediation, or on the courthouse steps.
