What kind of lawyer is needed for a person hurt at a nursing home?

Answer by  patti (29325)

Get in the phone book and look at the ads placed in the yellow pages by local attorneys. You might also call the Bar Association and ask for referrals to attorneys who specialize in geriatric issues. You should also report the incident to the state authority that monitors and licenses nursing care facilities.

You need to find a Personal Injury Attorney. I would contact your State Bar Association to help you find an appropriate one in your area. Usually a Personal Injury Attorney can work with you without asking for an upfront fee, they just take it out of the ending settlement.

Any lawyer who has experience in accidents would do but I suggest you find one who has experience with Elder Abuse and Nursing home accident cases. They know more about this particular issue and you will probably be more likely to get the results that you're looking for. Good luck with your search.

Get a trial lawyer and someone who is an advocate and experienced in nursing home abuse. Make sure it is someone who does not mind taking the time to investigate and is passionate about justice. Even better see if they have any personal experience on the subject.
