FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR OUR NURSING HOME ABUSE AND NEGLECT ATTORNEYS IN AUSTIN, TEXAS

Rehabilitation facilities, convalescent centers, assisted living, and nursing homes all have one thing in common: They are designed to provide care for those who are in need. Whether you or your loved one was injured or neglected while recovering from surgery or is considered a full-time resident, it is important to hold the negligent party liable for your injuries for several reasons.

First, you can hold the abusive party accountable for their actions and ensure they do not work in another facility where they can harm another person going forward. The same is true for the facility itself. When we pursue the individual, facility, or a combination of parties for their roles in our client’s injuries, everyone is held accountable by the state board that oversees their operation. Finally, together we can pursue the financial recovery you deserve to achieve better care that will increase your quality of life.

Filing a personal injury claim against a negligent staff member, medical care provider, or the nursing home facility itself can achieve justice in the form of negligent employees getting fired and reported to local agencies, policy changes, and even facilities that were closed because of negligence claims.

And while most of our clients do not care about the financial aspect of personal injury claims, the reality is, holding the facility financially responsible for their negligence is hitting them where it hurts most: In their bottom line.

Nursing homes are a multi-billion-dollar industry in the U.S. and exist to make a profit.

Financial damages are the only remedy allowed by our civil justice system to right the wrongs committed by the nursing home.  Even if you don’t care about the money, you can rest assured they do.

Depending on your relationship with the decedent, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim against the negligent party. Contact our experienced personal injury attorneys today to understand your legal rights and options to hold the nursing home liable for the loss of your loved one.
