Case Studies of Nursing Home Abuse

The warning signs of nursing home abuse often go undetected. If nursing home abuse occurs, you may have legal recourse.

Many families are shouldering the burden of caring for a loved one. Many families are unaware that abuse or neglect in the nursing home has injured their loved one and contributed to their decline in health.

With an aging population of baby boomers, the problem is likely to get worse.

If this happens in your family, nothing can set it right. But that does not mean that no one should be held to account. Review the case studies. Then consider your legal options. It may not take the pain away, but it does help to bring a measure of fairness into a story where fairness had so far played such a minor role.

Lawyers Not Screeners

When you call, in addition to speaking to a live person, you'll find that every case is screened by a lawyer. Not a receptionist. Contact us and you'll be remembered because we don't want you to have to repeat yourself.

Local Savvy

Dalli & Marino is familiar with major nursing homes in the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area. To be successful, a nursing home abuse law firm must be aware of local practices, judges and malpractice history for specific nursing homes.

To be successful at trial -- to be persuasively successful -- a firm must be experienced in the particulars of nursing home operations and applicable state law.

Evidence Gathering

Gathering evidence in today's environment requires a clear understanding of the rules, plus the possible role of electronic medical records and expert witnesses.
