MEDICAL MALPRACTICE - NURSING HOME ABUSE - WRONGFUL DEATH
What Is Nursing Home Abuse
Caregiver abuse is a growing problem in the United States. Nursing home abuse is a particular problem, and ranges from simple neglect to intentional mental or physical abuse. The acts become actionable when it is known that a person has not been given acceptable physical care (medical, emotional, etc.) and there exists an ability to prove harm. Caregiver abuse issues also occur with babysitters, and sometimes friends or relatives who are caring for children, disabled or elderly people in retirement homes or home bound care.
Why You Should Contact Us Now
Reason #1: You could harm your ability to get a fair settlement. Chances are, the responsible party's insurance company or lawyers may try to contact you. DO NOT communicate with them until you have met with attorney Bobby Lormand. Any information you provide, comment you make, or answer you give could be twisted against you. Without the advice and representation of a lawyer you could make a horrible situation even worse.
Reason #2: You have a tight time deadline to file. In Louisiana, a caregiver abuse lawsuit must be filed within one year of the incident. It takes time to properly prepare and file a lawsuit of this nature. Additionally, as time elapses witnesses forget details, and thereby lose their credibility and value. This is especially damaging if your case goes to a jury trial.
