NURSING HOME ABUSE ATTORNEY IN ORANGE PARK

Hiring an attorney is critical if you suspect that your loved one is a victim of abuse or neglect in a nursing home. The right attorney will protect your loved one'sone's rights and pursue a civil claim or lawsuit, whichever works best in that particular situation.

It's important to hire an attorney with experience handling nursing home abuse cases, not just a general attorney. They should have a deep understanding of elder law in Florida and a sense of compassion and dedication to advocating for the rights of vulnerable individuals. Importantly, make sure the attorney you hire has proven results and access to powerful legal resources to navigate the ups and downs of a nursing home abuse claim.

Depending on the specifics of your case, you may be able to recover compensation for:

• Medical expenses if you suffered physical injuries.
• Pain and suffering, also for physical injuries.
• Emotional distress if you are a victim of emotional abuse.
• Funeral expenses if your loved one died as a result of the abuse. 

Although very rare, and only if the case goes to court, Florida law also allows plaintiffs to recover punitive damages if the responsible party's actions were particularly reckless. If you qualify for punitive damages, your attorney can help present it in a compelling case to convince the judge or jury to award you these damages as well.
