Passionate Legal Advocates for Long Island Nursing Home Abuse Victims
Our Long Island nursing home abuse and neglect lawyers help victims and their families in many ways, including:
Protecting the Victim’s Rights
Nursing home residents have the right to quality care that is free from discrimination or fear of punishment. They also have the right to protection for their money and property. If a residential care facility violated these rights — or allowed anyone else to violate these rights — the victim can seek compensation.
Building Your Case
A nursing home abuse case requires us to identify the party(s) responsible for the abuse or neglect. We use our network of resources to determine the nature of the abuse, how the injuries occurred, and who is liable for the damages.
Establishing Liability
Several parties can be liable for abuse or neglect of a nursing home resident. They may include:
- A caretaker
- Another resident
- A visitor
- The facility
In almost every case, the facility itself will also be liable for the abuse or neglect
because it is responsible for resident safety, care, and well-being.
Our attorneys will establish the at-fault party’s liability by showing how they failed to provide an acceptable level of residential care.
Proving Damages
We will investigate your case to determine the damages you or your loved one suffered. We will collect all the relevant documentation and expert testimony necessary to support your case.
Providing Answers and Updates
Throughout the process, our team will be there for you, answering your questions and providing updates about your case. Our Long Island injury lawyers provide compassionate representation and quality care for our clients and their families.
