As our population ages, the need for nursing home, assisted living, skilled nursing and other long-term care services is increasing rapidly. However, litigation against these entities continues to threaten the ability of long-term care providers to survive and provide these critical services.
Our attorneys are at the forefront of this litigation and understand that quality long-term care facilities are essential to the ongoing care of our elderly population today and in the future. We have been intimately involved in the aggressive defense of claims against these facilities in order to protect their interests and to protect the long-term care industry, in general.
Our attorneys have successfully defended long-term care facilities, their owners and employers, and management companies associated with these facilities in a variety of actions alleging negligence, nursing home malpractice, abuse and neglect, residents' rights violations and wrongful death. We act as regional and local counsel for a number of long-term care facilities in every stage of litigation including overseeing investigations and handling all pre- and post-trial proceedings and appeals. In addition, our attorneys review and develop employment and documentation policies and procedures and provide preemptive risk management strategies.
