Every nursing home neglect case is unique, and multiple factors play into the amount you receive.
Your Location
The laws about nursing home compensation vary from state to state. Some states limit the amount or types of damages you can recover, while others have no limits.
The Weight of the Evidence
A nursing home is more likely to agree to a fair settlement if your evidence is strong. Defendants agree to settle to avoid the risk of a high jury verdict and excess litigation costs. If your evidence is weak, the defendants may be more willing to take their chances in court.
The Severity of Your Injuries
The most severe injuries result in high medical expenses and increased pain and suffering. As a result, your settlement is likely to be higher if your injuries are particularly severe.
The Lawyer You Choose
Choosing the right lawyer is one of the most important ways to maximize your compensation. If your lawyer has a successful track record of winning large trial verdicts, a nursing home defendant will more likely offer the settlement you deserve.
