Nursing Home Litigation

The United States faces an aging population; every day, more and more of our valued elders try to find safe shelter in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and related communities. For many, these facilities provide excellent care and a safe, healthy place to live.

Unfortunately, with the growing number of elderly living in such institutions, state and federal governmental oversight is not always sufficient to ensure the safety of everyone. Increasingly, families are finding themselves in the uncomfortable role of evaluating the care their loved ones are receiving, or trying to determine why a parent, grandparent or other family member has been maltreated, or worse.

Mickey Wilson's expertise in Elder Law, and its frequent and thorough interaction with elderly clients, led to a natural interest in assisting these clients after placement in a nursing home or similar facility. Our Attorneys have great familiarity with the rules and regulations governing the operation of such facilities, both through litigation and their presentations and published works on the topic; other attorneys refer to the materials our Attorneys prepare to guide them through an area we are familiar with.

It is an unpleasant fact that nursing homes do not always provide the care that they should. When a care deficiency occurs, Mickey Wilson works with families in a concerted effort to help loved ones regain their dignity, their health, and their rightful position. We review cases with physicians, nurses, wound care specialists, surgeons, and any other medical professionals as may be necessary to truly evaluate when a nursing home has deviated from the standard of care. We have litigated and settled many cases involving a variety of injuries, for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

While all litigation can be time sensitive, nursing home litigation requires one of the quickest response times of all. There is no time for an attorney to come up to speed on the standards nursing homes are held to; clients require a firm already possessing that knowledge, such as Mickey Wilson. Fortunately, we are equipped to handle your needs in a caring and sensitive fashion, while pursuing those who neglect our loved ones with the greatest of diligence.
