Understanding Liability in a Nursing Home

In general a nursing home, assisted living facility, or elder care residence can be found liable for negligence or wrongdoing under corporate negligence law. This means that the facility is held responsible rather than an employee. It is the duty of any facility that offers treatment and care for elderly people to:

Ensure the facility and any equipment is safe and clean
Provide enough trained staff at all times of the day
Make sure the staff are trusted and can pass certain background tests
Oversee the facility’s operation
Enforce policies and protocols that protect all of the resident’s
Provide necessary treatment and medical care
Keep the resident’s out of harm’s way

When you suspect abuse is taking place, it is advisable to consider the following tips:

Take photographic evidence
Make copies of the elder’s medical records
Make sure the elder is not in immediate danger

  To say that I am happy with the outcome of my case is the understatement of the century! Jill Stanley is a BEAST at what she does.  That is the only way to explain it. She takes no prisoners. She and her team are very skilled and knowledgeable.  I am so happy I trusted them to do their job and rolled with Jill's suggestions. I would choose Jill again 100 times. She settled my case for more than I imagined I would receive. I was literally in tears. It is the best feeling to know my pain isn't for naught. Wayne Cohen and Kristopher Yorke were nothing short of amazing. They have the patience of saints. I'm 100% certain that I got on their last nerves with my frustration and tears at every other call I had with them. Being in pain and wanting to just be able to heal was all I could focus on, but they helped me realize that I also had to focus on the bigger picture (the case) so I could put this piece behind me. As a high-strung individual with anxiety, it was hard for me to not worry and let them do their jobs, but they reassured me all of the time that they had this. To be injured before the start of the pandemic and have to receive regular, weekly treatment while others are able to stay home is anxiety inducing. I was in pain, I was anxious, and I was just hoping it all worked out. It more than worked out.  I hope Jill, Siri, and Kris know how much their hard work and "hanging in there" meant to me. I am eternally grateful. I can't recommend you all enough. If you choose this law firm, you won't be sorry!

  I had a great experience with the team at Cohen & Cohen. From my intake attorney, Adam, to the paralegal, Bryan, who worked with me regularly for months to document and prepare my case, to Jill, the attorney who secured my settlement, I feel fortunate to have had their representation and expertise on my side.
