Why should I file a Virginia nursing home lawsuit instead of a complaint against the caregiver?

Filing an internal complaint against a caregiver has its place, but it puts a bandaid on a much bigger problem. It is the primary responsibility of Virginia nursing homes to provide excellent care. When a residential facility focuses on profits over quality, abuse is more likely to occur. When a resident of Virginia files a nursing home lawsuit, they can hold the company accountable for its failure to ensure a safe and quality experience. This is only means to obtain compensation for medical expenses, injuries, and suffering from Virginia elder abuse.

Are nursing home lawsuits from Virginia residents just class action lawsuits where the plaintiff receives very little money?

No, nursing home lawsuits from Virginia residents will not be part of class action lawsuits. When a resident has undergone serious harm such as physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, or abandonment in Virginia nursing home lawsuits may result in significant compensation for the family.

Are there time limits for filing a nursing home lawsuit or Virginia elder abuse claim?

Most states do have time limits for nursing home abuse lawsuits; however, the majority of all Virginia persons seeking to file a claim will fall within those time limits if they contact an attorney in the near future.
