Memphis Nursing Home Negligence

Lawsuits and Claims Involving Elder Abuse & Nursing Home Negligence

Do You Need Help with a Memphis Nursing Home Lawsuit?

You are in a situation that you never thought would occur—a senior citizen that you care about is in a nursing home, and you think that this person is being abused.  You may feel angry, confused, and overwhelmed about what to do next.  Most importantly, you want to protect your loved one, and possibly seek compensation for the ill treatment that he or she has experienced.

The steps of a nursing home lawsuit in Memphis

Skouteris & Magee, PLLC wants to help with your Memphis nursing home lawsuit.  We have a proven record of getting results for clients in circumstances like yours.

These are the steps to take if you think that a nursing home lawsuit may be needed in order to assist your loved one.

• Step #1: The first thing that should be done is to protect your loved one from encountering any further harm.  Talk to your loved one if he or she is able to communicate.  Explain that you think he or she may be a victim of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.  If your loved one confirms your suspicions, report your findings to the administrators of the nursing home.

• Step #2: If you feel that the situation is urgent and the administrators are not amenable to discussing your concern, remove your elder from the facility and notify the police about what happened.  You may also contact the county or state regulatory agency that oversees nursing homes.  That agency may need to conduct a separate investigation of the facility.

• Step # 3: Discuss your case with Skouteris & Magee, PLLC.  We will review the evidence you present in order to determine whether you have a valid Memphis nursing home lawsuit.  If you do, we will file a petition in court, and the defendants will be notified.

• Step # 4: Discovery takes place next. This is where we share information with your opponents, and they share the same with us. We determine whether a settlement can be reached, or if one side or the other wishes to pursue a trial.

• Step # 5: If a trial is your best option, we vigorously advocate for your loved one in court.  If the verdict handed down is unfavorable, we discuss the possibility of an appeal with you.
