We are experienced nursing home abuse litigators.
Nursing home abuse can often be difficult to pinpoint and prove, which is why it is important that you retain the services of a law firm experienced in nursing home litigation. If you or someone you love has been the victim of nursing home abuse or negligence, we will take action immediately and do everything we can to make sure that the negligent party is held liable for their actions by paying you or your family the compensation warranted by the abuse or negligence.
A person staying at a nursing home does so because he or she cannot take care of him or herself and needs the help of experienced and qualified doctors, nurses, and other care professionals. Nursing home residents have legal rights, including the right to:
- be protected from physical and mental abuse;
- not to be tied down or restrained unless absolutely necessary;
- refuse treatment;
- select their personal physicians;
- confidentiality of their medical and personnel records and files; and
- to receive a 30 day notice of discharge or transfer and the right to appeal against such decisions.
Unfortunately, neglect and abuse of nursing home patients is rampant. Nursing home abuse can be both physical and mental and caused by:
- unqualified and poorly trained staff;
- inadequate number of caregivers;
- improper use of medical equipment;
- violent history of caregivers; and
- isolation of nursing home residents.
Nursing home abuse victims may be entitled to compensation.
The experienced Atlanta personal injury lawyers and wrongful death attorneys at Davis Adams can help determine the types of damages a nursing home abuse victim may be entitled to receive, including:
- medical bills;
- medical monitoring;
- pain and suffering;
- lost wages;
- impairment of earning capacity;
- life care/lifestyle changes; and
- punitive damages.
Our team strategy maximizes client service and case results.
At Davis Adams, all cases are handled jointly by Jess Davis and Chad Adams. This collaborative, team approach distinguishes our firm from most others, where work is largely handled by a single, less experienced associate (or sometimes a non-attorney “case manager”), and where experienced trial lawyers only get involved in the later stages of the case, if at all. Our clients profit from our hands-on team approach because from the very start they get the collective time, attention, energy, and experience of the attorneys who will be handling their case at trial, which translates to better results.
To learn more about the advantages of working with Davis Adams, please see the questions you should always ask before hiring a lawyer, as well as the pledge we make to every client we represent.
