Illinois has state laws governing the time allowed for filing specific lawsuits. If you miss the deadline for filing your case, you jeopardize your rights and may not be able to file. Discuss your case with an attorney as soon as possible.

One of the most disturbing aspects of nursing home negligence is that it takes advantage of some of society's most vulnerable members. We understand abuse and neglect is sometimes malevolent. However, more often, nursing home abuse results from poor hiring, lack of training, poor supervision, and understaffing.

Our law firm's attorneys have significant experience helping families who are dealing with elder abuse. One of the common misconceptions is that nursing home abuse only involves physical abuse. We are prepared to handle a wide-variety of nursing home negligence cases, including those involving:

• Physical abuse
• Sexual assault
• Mental or psychological abuse
• Inadequate employee background checks
• Inappropriate use of physical restraints
• Failure to respond to changing medical conditions
• Improper medication or medication mismanagement

Many elderly victims fail to report abuse out of humiliation, fear, or shame. However, there are signs that should arouse suspicion, including malnutrition or dehydration, decubitus ulcers (commonly known as bed sores or pressure sores), wandering away, and sudden changes in behavior. We are dedicated to helping ensure our clients get the respect, response, and results® they deserve. We are tough negotiators and trial attorneys who are prepared to fight for maximum compensation for you and your loved one.
