Compensation can’t undo the harm, but it can help with what comes next. You can pursue compensation for damages such as medical bills, relocation costs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. If your loved one has died from neglect or abuse at a nursing home, our team can also help you seek funeral expenses, loss of companionship, loss of inheritance, and other wrongful death damages.

In addition, if a jury finds a defendant liable for elder abuse or neglect and determines the conduct was reckless, malicious, oppressive, or fraudulent, the remedies may include attorneys’ fees, costs, and punitive damages.

When you work with Lanzone Morgan, LLP, you’ll get representation from a firm with a long track record of results for families affected by nursing home abuse. For instance, our attorneys obtained $900,000 for the family of a skilled nursing facility resident who was improperly secured during transport, suffering a hip fracture that led to his death. In another case, we obtained an $850,000 settlement over the choking death of a nursing home resident that resulted from the staff’s failure to follow the care plan. However, please note that past results don’t guarantee future outcomes.
