How Can a Newton Nursing Home Abuse Attorney Help You?
Aside from offering you our Stone Cold Guarantee®, the experienced attorneys at Jason Stone Injury Lawyers can help you get money for your loved one’s abuse by investigating the allegations, gathering evidence, and negotiating with the nursing home on your behalf.
Investigate and Collect Evidence
The first thing our attorneys will do is to investigate your claim by doing things like:
- Visiting the nursing home where the abuse happened
- Requesting security camera footage that may show the abuse
- Working with nursing home abuse experts
- Getting a copy of the incident report
- Questioning witnesses, including nursing home employees
- Getting your loved one’s medical records that contain evidence of abuse
Negotiate With the Nursing Home or Their Insurance Carrier
Nursing homes and their insurance companies want to pay you as little as possible. Let us negotiate with them on your behalf while you focus on helping your loved one recover from the abuse they suffered.
You don’t have to let the insurance carrier bully you into accepting a small settlement.
Take Your Case to Trial
When insurance companies refuse to pay fair compensation, our compassionate attorneys are always prepared to take a case all the way to trial to demand the money our clients are entitled to.
Regardless of whether we’re able to negotiate a settlement or if we have to take your case to court, we’ll do everything we can to get your loved one maximum compensation for the pain and suffering they endured.
What Should You Do if You Suspect Nursing Home Abuse?
If you suspect your loved one is being abused or neglected, you should start by filing a complaint regarding a nursing home or other healthcare facility.
Then, you should contact a Newton nursing home abuse attorney who can help your loved one get money for their pain and suffering and enough compensation to cover their medical bills and any work you lost tending to your loved one after their abuse.
Signs of Nursing Home Abuse
Your loved one may be unable or unwilling to report their abuse to you, so you need to watch out for these signs of nursing home abuse:
- Dirty bedding or clothing
- Missing personal belongings
- Poor personal hygiene
- Bedsores
- Unexplained cuts, bruises, or broken bones
- Sudden weight loss
- Fearfulness around caregivers
- Depression or withdrawal
How Long Do You Have to File a Nursing Home Abuse Claim in Massachusetts?
The statute of limitations for nursing home abuse claims in Massachusetts is three years. You shouldn’t wait that long to contact a Massachusetts nursing home abuse lawyer, however.
You should contact an attorney as soon as you suspect your loved one is being abused because:
- Filing a claim against the nursing home may help stop abuse against not just your loved one but other residents as well
- Evidence can go missing or fade from memory in a surprisingly short period of time
- You want your legal team to have plenty of time to put your case together ahead of all deadlines
- The process of pursuing compensation can take months or years; the sooner you start the process, the sooner your loved one can get the money they need
