Central Illinois Nursing Home Negligence LawyerDespite the high cost of staying in an assisted living or nursing home facility, residents are not always given the kind of care they deserve. The fact is that the large corporations running these businesses choose to pay very poorly for many nursing home jobs or to reduce their staffs in order to make more profit. Residents of these facilities suffer as a result. You and your loved ones deserve better. A different kind of law firm…dedicated to serving you. At Shay & Associates, we represent people from throughout the Central Illinois region in nursing home abuse and negligence cases such as:
Although official complaints against nursing home facilities are investigated by the Illinois Department of Public Health, bureaucracies are slow moving and chances are good that important evidence will disappear between the time you file your complaint and the time they actually start investigating. Hiring an attorney early on can help prevent that from happening in your case. Our attorneys will work hard to make sure that evidence such as patient medical records, nursing notes, care plans, dietary reports, and the backgrounds and employment histories of staff members are documented. As a client of our firm, you will also benefit from the fact that our lawyers actually litigate these types of cases in court. Because of this and because we prepare each case with trial in mind, we are often able to save our clients the time, expense, and unpredictable outcomes associated with trials by negotiating fair settlement terms outside of court.
