Why Location Matters in Your Case
While bedsore injuries are medical issues, the legal path to justice is determined by where the injury occurred. Three key factors change from state to state:
Statute of Limitations
Every state has a strict deadline for filing a lawsuit. In some states, you may have only one year from the discovery of the injury to take action. Missing this deadline can bar you from recovery forever.
Damages Caps
Some states limit the amount of compensation you can receive for "non-economic" damages like pain and suffering. We know how to navigate these caps to maximize your potential recovery.
Reporting Standards
States have different agencies and protocols for reporting nursing home abuse. Filing a complaint with the correct local agency is often a crucial first step in building a case.
