Demanding Justice for Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse

When elders can't fend for themselves, we trust nursing homes to provide compassionate, attentive care. However, it's a sad reality that negligence and abuse often occur in these facilities. For over 24 years, attorney van der Veen has been tirelessly advocating for the victims of such atrocities. At van der Veen, Hartshorn, Levin & Lindheim, our Philadelphia nursing home negligence attorneys aggressively represent victims and their families, holding liable parties accountable.

Identifying Nursing Home Abuse and Negligence

Signs indicative of negligence or abuse may include visible injuries, untreated medical needs, depression, weight fluctuations, incorrect medication administration, and unexpected death. Our experienced attorneys are equipped to ascertain whether your loved one is a victim. If you suspect abuse or neglect, you need a relentless attorney who won't rest until justice is served. Our team has earned a reputation as the toughest and hardest-working in Philadelphia, tirelessly pursuing justice for our clients.

Pursuing Accountability for Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse

Nursing home abuse perpetrators can face criminal penalties, including fines and incarceration. Civil lawsuits allow victims and their families to seek monetary recovery from liable individuals and institutions. Attorney van der Veen's unique experience in both civil and criminal court offers an unmatched advantage in these disputes. As a Pennsylvania Super Lawyer, his exceptional representation has delivered favorable results for numerous families across Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Understanding the Statute of Limitations for Nursing Home Negligence in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania law provides a two-year statute of limitations for these cases. Determining the exact date when the negligence occurred can be challenging, often involving ongoing neglect over months or even years. Our attorneys swiftly conduct thorough investigations to preserve your right to legal action.
