Florida Nursing Home Law
State and federal laws in Florida protect the elderly from health hazards and deficiencies in patient care. The reason for state and federal protection of the elderly is a simple truth: all too often nursing homes, long-term caregivers and assisted living facilities in Florida have placed profits before patients. We represent elderly clients and their families in nursing home negligence and elder abuse and neglect cases involving:
- Bedsores, pressure sores and infections
- Dehydration and malnutrition
- Financial abuse and exploitation
- Falls, dislocations and fractures
- Inadequate staffing, training and negligent supervision
- Medication and prescription errors
- Inappropriate use of physical or chemical restraints
- Physical, emotional and psychological abuse
- Physical or emotional neglect
Contingency Fees
We represent families in nursing home negligence and elder abuse cases throughout Central Florida, including Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and other communities in the counties of Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Sumter, Hernando, Polk and Orange. We do not charge a fee for personally consulting with you about your case. Protecting your rights is important to us, so we cover all expenses until the end of a case and then we are paid a portion of the funds recovered plus costs . If we are unable to recover compensation for you, you do not owe us a fee. This is called a "contingency fee" arrangement and is common among attorneys who handle nursing home negligence and elder abuse cases.
