How Long Will My Nursing Home Abuse Case Take?
As a general rule of thumb, personal injury cases tend to take under a year to resolve. That said, some can take longer or shorter to complete. It’s best to hire a nursing home abuse lawyer in Port St. Lucie as soon as possible if you suspect your loved one is being mistreated.
Getting a lawyer started on your case soon will ensure that evidence is gathered before it disappears or is destroyed by involved parties. Taking action now will also ensure that any lawsuits are filed before Florida’s filing deadline for injury suits.
According to the law, your family has two years from the date that the incident was discovered or should have been discovered to file a claim. If you don’t get started on your case soon, you could miss this deadline and be stopped from getting the compensation your loved one needs to move forward.
We can handle all deadlines and ensure they are satisfied if you reach out to our firm soon.
