Florida Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer FAQ’s

Our Jacksonville nursing home neglect attorneys get asked the below frequently asked questions.

How much does it cost to hire a Jacksonville nursing home abuse lawyer?

Senior Justice Law Firm works exclusively on contingency fee. This means you pay us nothing unless we win your case. If we win, we receive 33.3% – 40% of your settlement or judgment as attorneys fees. If we do not recover money for your family, you owe us nothing. We never require any out of pocket payment from you, so please do not let a concern about payment stop you from seeking legal help.

Do I need to live in Jacksonville to pursue a case in Duval County?

No, you can be out of the area, or out of the state, and still pursue a claim in Duval County. Most of what we do is done by phone or Zoom, so you are not required to live in the area to pursue a Duval County nursing home negligence case.

What if my loved one died?

Florida law still allows you to pursue a case, even if the victim passes away. Your case may be styled as a wrongful death claim, or a survival claim, or both.

How long does a Jacksonville nursing home lawsuit take? What is my Jacksonville nursing home case worth?

There is no magic formula to determine a case’s timeline, or a case’s value. Each case is different, and the individual facts will determine the length of time needed to resolve a case, and what the resolved value of the case will be. With that said, Senior Justice Law Firm is able to resolve most Jacksonville nursing home abuse cases between 6 months and 24 months. However, in no way is this a guarantee.
