Our Columbus Nursing Home Abuse Attorney Fights for Fair Compensation
The damages recoverable in a nursing home abuse case depend significantly on the circumstances. Each case is different, and the injuries, expenses, and losses can vary widely. Our attorneys work with your family to identify the damages suffered and seek compensation to cover both economic and noneconomic losses. This could include:
- Medical care costs for physical injuries
- Mental health care for emotional trauma and distress
- Future care needs related to injuries
- Costs of relocation or other related needs
- Pain and suffering, mental anguish, and other noneconomic damages
If your loved one passed away because of neglect or abuse, your family could pursue a case based on wrongful death. We represent surviving family members in these cases, following Ohio’s wrongful death laws and seeking compensation for the losses experienced.

Our Lawyers Understand How Columbus Nursing Home Abuse Happens
According to U.S. News & World Report, more than 100 nursing homes are in the metropolitan Columbus area. The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) licenses or certifies around 960 nursing facilities statewide. Families trust these facilities to provide their loved ones with the necessary care and support. However, these homes are often overcrowded and understaffed, and staff may not have the necessary training to provide needed care.
While neglect is usually unintentional, it is preventable. Neglect is still abuse. Of course, other types of abuse occur intentionally. An abuser may physically, emotionally, sexually, or financially abuse a resident, causing emotional pain and suffering, financial losses, and/or physical injuries.
The victim and their family can pursue a case against the nursing home owners or administrators when this occurs. They are responsible for ensuring the safety and health of all residents, including preventing neglect injuries and protecting them from staff with bad intentions.

How Our Columbus Injury Lawyers Manage Nursing Home Abuse Cases
Our attorneys give every client the attention they deserve. We ensure your case is as strong as possible, presenting compelling evidence to hold the nursing home accountable and recover appropriate compensation for your loved one. We do not believe any aging or disabled individual should have to live through abuse or neglect. We are here to help them get justice.
These Cases Often End in Settlements
We often present the facility’s insurance company or the administrators with convincing evidence that shows they will not win if we take the case to trial. We show them what occurred and that the nursing home is legally liable. This often leads to settlement offers and negotiations for a fair settlement agreement. If a fair settlement is not possible, we will take the case to trial.
We Handle All Parts of Your Legal Case
Our Columbus nursing home abuse attorney will represent your loved one’s best interest throughout this process. We will build and present the most robust case possible to secure the money your family needs to ensure their safety and continued care. We also protect your loved one’s rights by managing all communication with the facility, its lawyers, and the insurance company.

Be Sure to Get Started With Our Columbus Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys Quickly
Call our team as soon as you suspect nursing home abuse, after you’ve done your own investigation, or after you’ve reported the abuse to the authorities. We can step in and manage your case at any time. However, you must also be aware of the deadlines that apply in these cases. If you fail to abide by these deadlines, you risk recovering nothing.
The statute of limitations set by Ohio Revised Code § 2305.10 is generally two years. However, determining the timeline for your case could be complex. Several factors can affect the deadline to file a lawsuit in these cases. You do not want to run out of time.
You also want to act quickly because evidence—especially any held by the nursing home—could disappear as time passes.
