Victims of nursing home abuse may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and in some cases punitive damages. Compensation aims to address the harm suffered and support recovery. An experienced attorney can evaluate your case to pursue the full value you deserve, negotiating with insurance providers or litigating when necessary.
Minnesota law sets specific deadlines, known as statutes of limitations, to file nursing home abuse claims. Generally, claims must be filed within a few years of the abuse being discovered. To protect your rights, it’s essential to consult an attorney as soon as possible. Our firm provides timely legal advice to ensure your case proceeds without delay and meets all procedural requirements.

Proving neglect involves showing that the nursing home failed to provide reasonable care resulting in harm. Documentation, medical records, expert testimony, and witness accounts help establish this failure. Our firm conducts thorough investigations and builds compelling cases based on credible evidence to hold neglectful parties responsible.
Many nursing home abuse cases settle prior to trial through negotiation or mediation, which can save time and expense. However, some cases require litigation to achieve just outcomes. We prepare every case fully for trial and pursue aggressive advocacy to secure fair compensation, always advising clients on the best course based on the circumstances.
