It is a difficult decision to put someone you love into the care of a nursing home. When you discover the organization that you trusted and was paid to care for your family member actually caused him or her serious harm, it’s important to take action with the help of a seasoned Watertown nursing home abuse attorney.

How We Can Help Your Family

We firmly believe those who cause harm to the most vulnerable members of our society must be held accountable. When you retain our firm, we’ll launch a thorough investigation to find out what happened and start the process of seeking justice for your loved one. This can be a difficult process: nursing homes can be tight-lipped about evidence of negligence, and witnesses may not voluntarily come forward. But we’ve been advocating for victims of nursing home abuse and neglect for decades and have been pioneers in Connecticut in this area of the law. Our Watertown nursing home neglect lawyers’ depth of experience and knowledge allows us to overcome those barriers and obtain justice for victims and their families.

Holding the nursing home accountable to your loved one can help to protect other families from future instances of abuse and neglect. We’ll advocate relentlessly for the compensation your loved one deserves. Because of our thorough investigation and track record of results, we are often able to reach a resolution by way of settlement, but we’re always prepared to go to trial—including honing our strategies and arguments in our in-house courtroom.

Throughout the process, we’ll keep you informed on the progress of your case. Our job is to be your resource and advocate to bring closure to your legal concerns for your loved one.
