Las Vegas Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys

If you or your loved one has been neglected or abused in a Las Vegas nursing home, you may be entitled to economic and non-economic damages. 

Economic damages are the financial consequences stemming from the abuse, such as: 

• Medical bills for hospital stays, treatment, medical devices, medication, etc. 
• Future medical costs for follow-up care and therapy
• The expenses of transferring to another facility 
• Restitution if financial abuse was involved (e.g., identity theft)
• Out-of-pocket expenses

Non-economic damages are non-monetary and account for the trauma of the abuse, including: 

• Pain and suffering 
• Loss of companionship
• Reduced quality of life
• PTSD
• Emotional distress
• Embarrassment 

In some nursing home abuse cases, a court may award punitive damages to punish the defendant for particularly harmful conduct.

Nevada’s statute of limitations typically gives you two years to file a nursing home abuse case. However, certain exceptions could change this deadline. 

It’s essential to consult an experienced attorney as soon as possible to preserve your rights. Once time runs out, you will be unable to hold the nursing facility accountable for its misconduct.

The value of your claim will depend on various factors, as each case is unique to the victim and their harm. 

When we’re putting a dollar amount on your losses, we’ll evaluate: 

• The severity of your loved one’s injuries 
• The costs you and your family have incurred for medical treatment and care
• The nature of the nursing home abuse or neglect and how long it lasted
• The physical, psychological, and emotional impacts
• The at-fault parties and available insurance policies
• The strength of the evidence proving liability

Our experienced nursing home abuse attorneys in Las Vegas can assess your family’s damages and help you maximize the value of your claim.
