Nursing Home Defense
Our Nursing Home Defense Practice Group understands the special concerns and issues involved with defending nursing homes, and recognizes the balance between patient needs for assisted daily living and the nursing homes right to a fair presentation of its treatment, care and concern for its patients.
As out-of-home, non-hospital health care continues to grow, nursing home negligence cases continue to increase. As the nation grows older, there is heightened awareness in the public mind with regards to care facilities, demonstrated in jury verdicts commonly ranging from $3 million to more than $300 million.
We are especially attentive to the evolving nature of non-hospital health care, and we help our nursing home clients and insurers prevent lawsuits as well as vigorously defend against lawsuits. WWHGD defends nursing home cases in every stage of litigation, including overseeing investigations and handling all pre-trial, trial and post trial proceedings.
Some recent cases of this practice group include:
- Representation of nursing homes and other long term care providers in connection with all facets of liability claims against long term care providers.
- Successfully served as national counsel for insurer of long term care providers; brought in to handle 82 pending suits in 23 states.
- Represents approximately 40 separate long term care providers in personal injury suits.
