How Do you Assess the Strength of a Nursing Home Abuse Case?

The way I look at it is if everything was done the way it should have been done, what would the patients recovery been? And if the malpractice or the elder abuse was so substantial that it was life altering, those are the cases that, you know, we want to really fight hard for and families, you know, it’s not only it’s true, there’s money involved obviously, but they want to know why. I find that very often in malpractice in particular, no one ever explained to the patient why they were having the surgery what the surgery entailed and what went wrong. Quite often I’m the first person that ever explains to the patient why they had the surgery what was actually done and why they’re sitting in my office. No one ever did that for them. Those are the type of questions I I think we owe it to families. It gives them some sense of maybe hopefully some level of relief that they have an understanding of why these things happen.
