Journal of Health Care Law and Policy states that abuse and neglect are “widespread, unreported, infrequently prosecuted and the cause of untold suffering, injury, illness and death.”
In 2001, a Congressional report revealed that 5,283 nursing homes — more than 30% of the 17,000 nursing homes in the US — were cited for abuse from January 1999 through December 2000.
While dramatic stories of nursing home abuse occur far too often, they are much less frequent than the everyday abuse elderly patients suffer when their basic needs are neglected. Patient fatalities due to neglect often go unreported. Physicians frequently list a general cause of death like “heart failure” on the death certificates of nursing home residents. In actuality, the root cause of death may be the untreated malnutrition, dehydration, or systemic infections from skin sores that lead to the heart failure.

Law Practice Funding: Lawyers
Litigation Finance for Personal Injury Lawyers
It's an unfortunate reality that nursing home abuse settlements can take a LONG time to resolve, even if your client has a good case with strong liability. And if you're working multiple cases at the same time, well, the cost of litigation can be quite high. Legal funding, a lawsuit loan or legal line of credit can help ease your law firm's cost burden.
Non-recourse legal funding generates working capital by unlocking the value of your largest asset - your contingent-fee case inventory.
Attorney loans, law firm loans & law practice lines of credit are all legal practice cash flow financing tools designed to stabilize your cash flow WITHOUT RISK so you can grow your law practice using EXISTING ASSETS.
Every lawyer knows the cost of litigation can be a back-breaker, but it doesn't have to be.
