How Can Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers Help Navigate Your Case?

A recent study estimated that only one in 14 cases of elder abuse are ever reported to authorities. That’s why it’s essential for witnesses and victims of nursing home abuse to report abuse as soon as possible. However, finding the most reliable team of lawyers in Lewes, Delaware is the next step. Not everyone is aware of how nursing home neglect lawyers work, but they’re capable of navigating your case in a variety of efficient ways. Here are just a few examples of the many ways that nursing home neglect lawyers can help.

Gathering Meticulous Details

It should come as no surprise that prosecuting any nursing home abuse case requires a lawyer to gather many meticulous details. They need to determine exactly what the alleged abuse was, how long it went on, and what harm was caused by the abuse. Your lawyer can confront and gather details from expert witnesses, which can strengthen your case as a whole. Without the extensive knowledge and researching skills of a nursing home abuse lawyer, your case may never fully come together.

Researching, Understanding, and Explaining Medical and Financial Records

Next, your nursing home abuse lawyer has the experience necessary to analyze complex medical records that may go back several years. They can explain these records to you in detail while simplifying the facts and forming the next course of action.

Trial Preparation

About 95% to 96% of personal injury cases are settled pretrial, but when it comes to nursing home abuse cases, you can never be sure. That being said, a good nursing home abuse lawyer has the litigation experience required to take your case to court and fight on your behalf if the other party won’t agree to a settlement out of the courtroom.

Over 40% of nursing home residents in the U.S. have reported abuse. Over 90% have reported that either they or another resident have suffered from neglect in a nursing facility. While recognizing signs of nursing home abuse isn’t always easy, staying diligent and navigating your case properly is the key to getting the compensation you and your loved one deserve.
