NURSING HOME

In Florida’s litigious nursing home arena, the successful defense of a nursing home abuse and neglect claim requires well-trained, experienced litigators who know how to handle claims involving falls, dehydration and nutrition, pressure sores, infections, burns and assault.  The “patient’s bill of rights,” which forms a plaintiff’s right to sue, is frequently changing and requires attorneys to maintain a close relationship with administrators, nursing directors and staff.  At Kubicki Draper, many of our attorneys are specially trained in nursing home defense and focus specifically on meeting the needs of our nursing home and assisted-living clients.  Our medically trained paralegals assist in the often-challenging task of locating and initially interviewing ex-employees, reviewing records and managing other aspects of this practice, which relies heavily on discovery and record review.
