$750,000 Settlement for Victim of Nursing Home Abuse

In 2002 Mississippi enacted tort reforms that placed a cap on recovery for non-economic damages. In many nursing home cases non-economic damages represent the bulk of a recovery because individuals in nursing homes are no longer working and cannot claim lost wages. This makes it difficult recover over $500,000 in a nursing home case. Despite the cap, in 2007 my firm was able to settle a neglect victim’s claim for $750,000.

Numerous Other Settlements for Nursing Home Victims

I have represented families of many victims of nursing home abuse and neglect. The vast majority of these cases resulted in a monetary settlement paid by the nursing home to compensate the victim for the injuries that they suffered.
