Guide
Placing a loved one in a nursing home is an act of trust. Families expect care, dignity, and safety—but when that trust is broken through abuse or neglect, the consequences can be devastating. Victims often suffer serious physical injuries, emotional trauma, and rapid health decline, while families are left facing medical bills, relocation costs, and long legal battles.
Nursing home abuse and neglect cases are complex and slow-moving. During this time, pre-settlement funding can provide critical financial relief, allowing families to protect their loved ones while pursuing justice.
Understanding Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Nursing home abuse and neglect can take many forms, including:
Physical abuse (hitting, rough handling, restraints)
Emotional or psychological abuse
Sexual abuse
Medical neglect
Malnutrition or dehydration
Bedsores (pressure ulcers)
Falls due to inadequate supervision
Unsanitary or unsafe living conditions
Medication errors
These cases often involve vulnerable individuals who cannot advocate for themselves, making accountability especially important.
The Financial Burden on Families
When abuse or neglect is discovered, families often face urgent 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 or supervision costs
Lost income from taking time off work
Emotional and psychological counseling
These costs arise immediately—while lawsuits against nursing homes may take months or years to resolve.
Why Nursing Home Abuse Cases Take Time
Nursing home litigation is particularly complex because it often involves:
Corporate ownership structures
Multiple layers of management and staffing agencies
Extensive medical record reviews
Expert testimony on standard of care
State and federal regulatory violations
Insurance companies aggressively defending claims
Facilities and insurers frequently delay cases, hoping families will settle quickly for less than fair value.
How Pre-Settlement Funding Helps Families
Pre-settlement funding provides a non-recourse cash advance based on the expected value of the case. This means:
Families receive funds quickly—often within 24–48 hours
Repayment only occurs if the case settles or wins
If the case is unsuccessful, nothing is owed
There are no monthly payments or credit checks
This structure protects families while offering immediate stability.
Common Uses of Pre-Settlement Funding in Elder Abuse Cases
Families often use funding to cover:
Relocation to a safer care facility
In-home nursing or assisted care
Medical bills and rehabilitation
Rent, mortgage, and household expenses
Transportation and caregiving costs
Legal-related living expenses during litigation
Funding ensures families can prioritize safety and care without financial panic.
