Protecting nursing home residents
Bed sores, falls, medication errors, and neglect in nursing homes and assisted living facilities are preventable — and actionable. We've recovered significant sums for victims and their families.
We investigate the crash, document your injuries, and deal with the insurance companies so you can focus on healing — and we prepare every case as if it is going to trial.
- Free, confidential case evaluation — you pay nothing unless we win
- Direct access to trial-tested attorneys, not a case number
- Meticulous preparation of every claim — medical records, experts, evidence
- Aggressive negotiation with insurers — and trial when they won't pay fairly
Warning signs of neglect and abuse
Families are usually the first to notice something is wrong. Watch for:
- Bed sores (pressure ulcers) at any stage
- Unexplained bruises, falls, or fractures
- Rapid weight loss and dehydration
- Poor hygiene and unclean conditions
- Overmedication or sedation
- Withdrawal, fear, or sudden behavior changes
Residents have enforceable legal rights
Florida’s Nursing Home Residents’ Rights statute guarantees adequate care, dignity, and safety — and provides a cause of action when facilities fail. Chronic understaffing to protect profits is the root cause we find in case after case.
We obtain staffing records, care plans, inspection reports, and internal incident files to show what the facility knew. If your loved one was harmed in a nursing home or assisted living facility, document what you see and call us — deadlines in these cases are short.
- Medical bills — past and future
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent injury and disability
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage and out-of-pocket costs
What to do after discovering nursing home neglect
- Get medical care — your health comes first, and prompt treatment also documents your injuries before insurers can claim a "gap in care."
- Report and document — file the police or incident report, photograph everything, and collect names of witnesses while memories are fresh.
- Say nothing to insurers — do not give recorded statements or accept early offers — adjusters use both to reduce what they pay you.
- Call Spinner Law Firm — a free, confidential consultation costs nothing, and you pay no fee unless we win. The earlier we start, the more evidence we can preserve.
