Weinberg, Wheeler, Hudgins, Gunn & Dial closely tracks trends impacting nursing homes. As the nation grows older, more elderly people rely on out-of-home, non-hospital health care for their care. Consequently, nursing home negligence cases continue to increase. The public has a heightened awareness of care facilities—leading to jury verdicts that commonly range from $3 million to more than $300 million.

The group helps nursing homes and insurers to prevent and vigorously defend against lawsuits.
