How do I know whether I should pursue a nursing home neglect/abuse claim?
How do I know whether I should pursue a nursing home neglect/abuse claim?We believe your well being and the well being of your family and loved ones is more important than money or legal action. However, if you suspect that you or a loved one has suffered an injury or harm from the abuse or neglect of an elder caretaker, you should seek the opinion of a qualified elder care abuse attorney to determine whether negligence has occurred and whether or not a claim should be brought.
Do I really need to hire an attorney or should I handle my own nursing home abuse claim?
To determine whether or not you have a viable nursing home abuse claim it is often necessary to hire an outside and independent expert to evaluate your case. We have access to expert witnesses including nutritionists, therapists, and physicians who can review the case and provide expert testimony against the nursing home or care provider. Families should know that it is common for a nursing home abuse lawyer to obtain a settlement five to twenty times the amount a person would receive by fighting on their own because we know how to fight against insurance industry tactics.
How much do I have to pay to pursue a nursing home abuse claim?
There are no upfront costs or fees paid by our clients to pursue a nursing home neglect claim as we provide representation on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases. While you will not incur any attorney fees if you do not win your case, Washington State law requires clients to reimburse the law firm for out-of-pocket expenses. Our firm advances out-of-pocket costs for our malpractice clients and does not require our clients to pay any of these costs up front. When cases are concluded with a monetary recovery, our firm is repaid for the out-of-pocket costs we have advanced with a percentage of the settlement.
