Hire a nursing home expert witness and build a winning case.

Nursing home abuse and negligence are far more common than many people think. According to data from the National Ombudsman Reporting System (NORS), during the year 2014, 14,258 (7.6%) of approximately 188,599 complaints reported to Ombudsman programs involved abuse, gross neglect, or exploitation.

Abuse can include:

• Physical abuse
• Psychological or verbal abuse
• Sexual abuse
• Neglect
• Financial exploitation

When these types of cases occur, attorneys benefit from having a trusted nursing home expert to strategize, testify, or both. These professionals understand the workings of the nursing home industry, including staffing policies and procedures and industry standards for nursing homes, long-term care facilities, assisted living facilities, and others geriatric care facilities.

For example, if a geriatric patient chokes on food while eating lunch, then ultimately passes away, a nursing home expert can explain standard protocols during mealtime. This helps the jury better relate to and understand the circumstances surrounding the event.
