Family Sues Nursing Home For Negligence Resulting In Pressure Ulcers

A lawsuit has been filed against a nursing home facility in which the plaintiff alleges negligent care caused her loved one to suffer pressure ulcers.

According to the claim, between late 2014 and early 2015, the nursing home did not adequately supervise the resident to avoid the development of pressure ulcers or provide immediate medical treatment. The plaintiff seeks judgment in an amount greater than $50,000.

Nursing home lawsuits usually take years before a settlement is reached. With bills continuously adding up, the ability to wait for a fair settlement may not be an option without the help of litigation funding. Litigation funding is a means for plaintiffs to pay medical expenses or other necessary bills as a result of injury and/or disability without worrying about jeopardizing their credit. The strategic advantage of a ‘lawsuit loan’ is that it provides the plaintiff the financial strength to await for a reasonable offer from the insurance company or defendant. That means the ability to refuse all low ball settlement offers.

This form of legal funding is not like a traditional loan, so factors such as employment history and financial standing are not required. The only concern is the validity of the lawsuit and the likelihood of its success. There are no monthly payments; repayment is made once the case settles. Additionally, the money is provided on a non-recourse basis meaning it does not have to be repaid in the event of a lost case. Once the determination has been made to provide funding, cash can be made available in as little as 24-hours. There are no restrictions on how the lawsuit cash advance is used.

If you or a loved one suffered physical or emotional injuries because a nursing home was negligent or failed to fulfill its care obligations to you and your family, you may have grounds for a nursing home negligence case. Contact an experience attorney as soon as possible. Once the lawsuit is underway, if you are feeling the pressure to settle, litigation funding can be the monetary flexibility needed to hold out for a greater settlement.
