Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect
Your Legal Rights
Patients and their families can file civil claims seeking money compensation for the injuries suffered due to nursing home neglect and abuse. In situations in which a patient dies due to the negligence of the facility, the family can file an Ohio Wrongful Death Claim for the loss of their loved one.
Statute of Limitations for Ohio Nursing Home Abuse Lawsuits
The statute of limitations for nursing home abuse varies from state to state. There are strict limitations for filing a nursing home abuse lawsuit. If you miss a deadline, your claim will be denied. To avoid these severe consequences, you should contact an attorney immediately, so an investigation and review of the entire medical history and chart can be completed and the claim commenced.
We work on a contingent fee agreement
We will represent you in a nursing home abuse and neglect case under a contingent fee agreement. This means that you will not be charged any legal fees or expenses whatsoever unless we obtain a settlement or recovery for you. You have absolutely no obligation for legal fees unless we win your case. If we do not obtain a settlement or verdict for you, you owe us nothing.
