We place loved ones in nursing homes when they need care that we can’t provide ourselves. Unfortunately, there are nursing homes in Illinois that won’t treat your elderly family members the way you would want them to be treated. Nursing home abuse and neglect often occurs when nursing homes are understaffed, ill-equipped to handle their patients’ needs, or financially exploiting their residents.
If you have a family member in a Lake County nursing home and you suspect abuse or neglect, it’s important to look into it right away. Maybe you have an elderly parent at a nursing home in Waukegan who seems emotionally distressed; or perhaps you suspect your grandparent was given too much medication, or the wrong medication, at a nursing home in Gurnee. Other signs of abuse and neglect may include bed sores/pressure sores, bruises, weight loss and dehydration.
Nursing home abuse and neglect cases in Lake County are filed at the main courthouse in Waukegan, which is located at 18 N. County St. After being filed, your case will be assigned to a judge in the Law Division, located on the third floor. This is where your attorney will appear for case management conferences and hearings. As a client, you do not have to attend most court appearances, but you may attend if you wish. The trial also will take place in the main courthouse, unless the case settles beforehand.
We can help you find a lawyer with specific experience in Lake County nursing home cases, as well as a proven track record of success. This means that they can demonstrate previous wins and a knowledge of the law.
Before taking your case, an attorney will look at the facts and circumstances surrounding the injury or death of the nursing home resident. Without a clear injury, a case is harder to win. Most attorneys only take cases with a likelihood of success, since they are paid on a contingency basis (meaning they don’t get paid unless you win).
