Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

Do not let nursing homes evade their responsibilities

Nursing home negligence and/or abuse resulting in injury or death to a loved one is sometimes a difficult case to pursue because many nursing homes – instead of responsibly carrying insurance to cover their liability when they neglect those they are supposed to care for – choose to hide their assets through multiple layers of corporations, interchangeable officers and board members, and real estate holding companies, so that the corporation owning the nursing home that actually injuries or contributes to the death of one of its residents is nothing more than a shell with no insurance and no assets. All the money has flown upward and is safely secured in a real estate holding company owned by a few investors who have made themselves rich by warehousing the elderly while pretending to care for them—and are making themselves richer every day.

It is not uncommon in their efforts to avoid responsibility to go further, even to the point of altering or withholding medical records in an attempt to hide the truth about their misconduct. With such cases often involving hundreds or even thousands of pages of medical records, it takes a great deal of time and know-how to uncover such attempts to hide the truth. It takes an attorney experienced in dealing with these types of nursing homes and holding companies that hide their money to break through the barriers they have set up in an attempt to avoid responsibility for their actions.

At James Law Group, nothing makes us happier than being able to have a jury hold them accountable for the harm they have done, no matter how much they have tried to hide the truth as well as their assets.
