Are Elderly Abuse Cases Handled Differently?

How are these claims handled differently? Do they require special expertise? Yes, they do. Nursing home abuse and neglect cases are handled a little bit differently under our law than other types of cases. They require lawyers with experience in handling these types of cases because they require certain things like an expert report with specific requirements that many lawyers fail regularly to meet. They also have rigid damages caps, and special statutes of limitation.
