Nursing Home Abuse Attorney in Orange Park

Nursing homes are supposed to provide a safe haven for their residents. But the reality is that some nursing homes could be the reason your loved one has suffered serious injuries or even life-long trauma. In such cases, Florida laws allow victims to seek compensation for their injuries or damages. While no amount of compensation can erase the memories or soothe the pain, it can help cover costly medical expenses, among other bills. It can also generally make the victim, their loved ones, or even both feel whole again. Contact Morgan and Morgan today if you or a loved one is a victim of nursing home abuse. We will review your case for free, and if valid, we might assign a nursing home abuse attorney in Orange Park to handle the case and fight for your right to compensation.

What Damages Can a Nursing Home Abuse Attorney in Orange Park Help Me Recover?

Depending on the specifics of your case, you may be able to recover compensation for:

Medical expenses if you suffered physical injuries.
Pain and suffering, also for physical injuries.
Emotional distress if you are a victim of emotional abuse.
Funeral expenses if your loved one died as a result of the abuse.

Although very rare, and only if the case goes to court, Florida law also allows plaintiffs to recover punitive damages if the responsible party's actions were particularly reckless.
