Long-Term Care & Nursing Home Defense
Long-term care facilities and nursing homes have long faced heavy scrutiny from state and federal authorities. In recent years, this scrutiny has been matched by an increasing number of lawsuits filed against long-term care facilities and nursing homes by an aggressive and organized national plaintiff’s bar.
