Guide
Families place immense trust in assisted living facilities, memory care units, and long-term care communities to protect their loved ones. When that trust is broken through abuse, neglect, or unsafe conditions, the consequences can be devastating—physically, emotionally, and financially.
Elder abuse and assisted living injury cases are complex and emotionally charged. They also take time to resolve. During this process, pre-settlement funding can provide critical financial support, helping families protect vulnerable loved ones while pursuing accountability and justice.
Understanding Elder Abuse and Assisted Living Injuries
Elder abuse and neglect can occur in many settings beyond traditional nursing homes, including:
Assisted living facilities
Memory care and dementia units
Skilled nursing facilities
Rehabilitation centers
Long-term residential care communities
Common forms of abuse and neglect include:
Physical abuse (rough handling, restraints, hitting)
Emotional or psychological abuse
Sexual abuse
Medical neglect or delayed treatment
Malnutrition or dehydration
Bedsores and pressure ulcers
Falls due to inadequate supervision
Medication errors
Unsanitary or unsafe living conditions
Many victims are unable to speak for themselves, making family advocacy essential.
The Financial Burden on Families
When abuse or neglect is discovered, families often face immediate and unexpected expenses, such as:
Emergency medical treatment or hospitalization
Specialist care and rehabilitation
Relocation to a safer facility or in-home care
Increased caregiving and supervision costs
Lost income from time off work
Counseling or therapy for emotional trauma
These costs arise quickly—long before any legal resolution or settlement.
Why Elder Abuse and Assisted Living Cases Take Time
Cases involving elder abuse or assisted living injuries are often complicated by:
Corporate ownership structures
Multiple management and staffing entities
Incomplete or altered medical records
State and federal regulatory violations
Expert testimony on standards of care
Aggressive defense strategies by insurers
Facilities and their insurers often delay proceedings, hoping families will accept early, inadequate settlements.
How Pre-Settlement Funding Helps Families
Pre-settlement funding provides a non-recourse cash advance based on the anticipated outcome of the lawsuit. This means:
Funds are available quickly—often within 24–48 hours
Repayment occurs only if the case wins or settles
There are no monthly payments
If the case is unsuccessful, nothing is owed
This structure allows families to act decisively without risking financial harm.
Common Uses of Funding in Elder Abuse Cases
Families frequently use pre-settlement funding to cover:
Relocation to safer care environments
In-home nursing or caregiving services
Medical treatment and rehabilitation
Rent, mortgage, and household expenses
Transportation and travel costs
Legal-related living expenses during litigation
Funding ensures that safety and care come first.
Why Funding Can Strengthen Elder Abuse Claims
Financial stability helps families:
Remove loved ones from dangerous environments immediately
Maintain consistent medical treatment and documentation
Reduce stress that can worsen health outcomes
Avoid settling early due to financial pressure
Give attorneys time to build strong, evidence-based cases
Stable families are better positioned to pursue full accountability.
