Bedsores.
Falls. Neglect.

Nursing home injuries follow a predictable pattern: understaffing, missed care plans, falsified records, ignored complaints. The cases are provable — and they're winnable.

The Brief

Federal and state
framework.

Federal regulation (42 C.F.R. Part 483) and the New Jersey Nursing Home Responsibilities and Rights of Residents Act (N.J.S.A. 30:13-1 et seq.) impose detailed care obligations on every Medicare- and Medicaid-certified facility in the state. We use the same regulations regulators use.

The Records

F-Tags, care plans, MDS data.

F-Tag citations from federal survey reports tell us which facilities are repeat offenders. The resident's care plan, MAR, and progress notes tell us whether the facility followed its own plan. The MDS data tells us whether staffing met the resident's acuity. Together they tell the story.

NJ · FAQ

What clients ask first.

I signed an admission agreement with an arbitration clause. Does that block my case?

Sometimes — and sometimes not. NJ courts scrutinize NH arbitration clauses for unconscionability and capacity. We've defeated them. Don't assume.

How much does it cost to hire your firm?

Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee — you owe us no attorney's fee unless we recover money for you. Costs are advanced by the firm and only reimbursed out of a recovery. The first conversation is free and confidential.

How long do I have to file a claim in New Jersey?

Most personal-injury claims in New Jersey carry a two-year statute of limitations under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2, running from the date of injury. Claims against a public entity (city, county, NJ Transit, the State) require a Notice of Tort Claim within 90 days under the New Jersey Tort Claims Act. Wrongful-death actions also have a two-year window. Call as early as possible — evidence does not wait.
