How can a nursing home abuse attorney help me?
You might think you don’t even need a lawyer if a nursing home employee or resident injured your loved one while living in a nursing home.

The stakes are often very high when it comes to many nursing home abuse claims.

Don’t wait to take legal action. In Ohio, you often only have three years from when the abuse took place to take legal action against a nursing home. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations. Three years might seem like a long time but the longer you wait to take legal action, the harder it can often become to find the facts you need to build a strong legal case. Evidence disappears. Memories fade.
Don’t miss out on your opportunity for justice. Contact Mani Ellis & Layne, PLLC and schedule your free case evaluation with an experienced Columbus nursing home abuse attorney who puts your family’s best interests first.
