Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Cases

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Cases

Have your loved ones been neglected or abused in a nursing home or residential facility?

The most common types of neglect and abuse are malnutrition, falls, dehydration, pressure sores, infections, burns, and assaults. Staffing and training deficiencies often cause these injuries. There are probably other residents in the facility who are also being neglected or abused; in fact there is probably a continuing pattern of neglect at the facility. The facility's history of violations of both federal and state law can show this pattern. We aggressively investigate and pursue any kind of neglect, abuse or assault to residents of a nursing home or residential facility.

We do not charge an attorney fee for personally consulting with you about your relative’s injury case. Many people do not have the money to hire a personal injury lawyer to protect their rights. You probably didn’t have this unexpected injury figured into your budget. Now you have high medical bills, and many other financial worries caused by this situation. It is unfair for these obstacles to prevent you from obtaining the full amount you are due under the law in just compensation for your injuries.

Don’t just take the first offer of settlement from the insurance company if it doesn’t fully compensate you for your loss and protect you from future complications. Protecting your rights is important to us. That’s the reason we cover all expenses until the end of a case and then we are paid a portion of the funds recovered. If we are unable to recover compensation for you, you do not owe us a fee. This is called a “contingency fee” arrangement and is common among Florida personal injury attorneys.

Attorneys put up large sums of money on these complex cases in order to hire experts, take depositions, gather evidence and oppose the lawyers of large insurance firms. Oldham & Smith has the experience, skill and dedication to successfully resolve your case.
