Frequently Asked Questions

What is ‘Neglect’?

Fort Lauderdale nursing home neglect is when a caregiver fails to meet the needs of the facility resident, and ignores the patient’s needs.

How do I know if my loved one’s injury was caused by nursing home negligence?

Nursing home negligence can be defined as a caregiver failing to provide something to the patient that he/she needs to maintain their health, safety, or dignity. This covers a wide variety of negligence. For example, ignoring a resident with dementia and allowing them to fall is a form of neglect. Another common example is failing to reposition a bed-bound patient, which results in skin breakdown and pressure injuries. Nursing home negligence encompasses both intentional acts, like abuse, as well as failing to supervise and assist the resident, i.e. neglect.

 How do you get paid?

Our Fort Lauderdale nursing home neglect lawyers only get paid if you make a recovery. We work exclusively on a contingency fee, meaning if you do not make a financial recovery, you owe us nothing. You will never be asked to pay us out of pocket. When the case resolves we typically take a fee of 33.3% to 40% of the gross recovery.

Who should be sued for nursing home neglect in Fort Lauderdale?

If the facility was negligent, the nursing home licensee can be held accountable for nursing home abuse. Also, depending on their involvement, corporate owners can be held responsible for nursing home injuries.

How can I transfer my loved one into a new Fort Lauderdale nursing home?
