Nursing home abuse is any act—or failure to act—that causes harm, pain, or distress to an elderly or disabled resident in a care facility. Abuse isn’t always physical. It can be emotional, financial, or even the result of long-term neglect.
Some common types of nursing home abuse include:
Abuse can happen due to poor staffing, improper training, overworked employees, or intentional misconduct. Regardless of the cause, the facility may be legally responsible for the harm.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to how much a case is worth. Every situation is different, and the value depends on a range of factors, including:
Some cases settle for tens of thousands. Others reach six- or seven-figure amounts, especially when serious harm or wrongful death is involved. Our team will investigate your case fully and fight to recover the full compensation your family deserves.
When filing a nursing home abuse claim, you may be able to recover several types of damages to compensate for the harm your loved one has endured. These generally fall into three categories: economic, non-economic, and punitive.
Economic damages aim to compensate for the tangible financial losses your loved one and your family have suffered due to nursing home abuse. These are often supported by bills, receipts, and financial records.
These damages are crucial for helping families cover both the immediate and ongoing financial burdens caused by the abuse or neglect.
Non-economic damages reflect the personal and emotional harm suffered by your loved one—losses that aren’t easily measured in dollars but have a real impact on quality of life.
Though these damages aren’t tied to receipts, they’re just as real—and deserve serious consideration in any claim.
Punitive damages aren’t awarded in every case, but they may be available when the abuse involved is especially egregious or intentional misconduct.
Punitive damages are meant to send a clear message: this kind of behavior won’t be tolerated, and wrongdoers will be held accountable.
At Eisenberg Law Offices, we know how hard it can be to deal with unexpected medical bills, lost wages, or relocation costs after discovering abuse. That’s why we handle nursing home abuse cases on a contingency fee basis.
There are no upfront costs, and you only have to pay us if we win your case.
If we don’t recover compensation for you, you owe us nothing. This allows every family to access the legal help they need, no matter their financial situation.
Families often miss early signs of abuse because they assume injuries or confusion are just part of aging. But you should always take concerns seriously—because real harm can be hidden behind closed doors.
Examples of abuse or neglect might include:
We understand that confronting nursing home abuse can be overwhelming, and it’s natural to feel uncertain about what to do next. Our compassionate legal team is here to guide you through every step of the process, offering support and clear explanations of your legal options.
Even if you’re not sure, it’s okay to ask questions. If something feels wrong, it’s worth investigating, and we’re here to help. You don’t have to face this difficult situation alone.
As many as five million elderly Americans—many of whom are in nursing homes—experience abuse on an annual basis. This abuse can take many forms, including physical harm, emotional mistreatment, neglect, and even financial exploitation. Sadly, many cases go unreported, making the actual numbers potentially much higher.
When you choose to work with us, you’re not just getting a lawyer—you’re getting a team of legal professionals who care about your case as much as you do.
Here’s what we can do for you:
We won’t let the facility sweep abuse under the rug—and we won’t settle for less than what your family deserves.
In Wisconsin, you typically have three years from the date of the injury (or discovery of the abuse) to file a nursing home abuse lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that could shorten or extend this deadline.
Acting quickly is important. Over time, evidence can disappear, witnesses’ memories can fade, and your legal options may become limited. If you even suspect abuse or neglect, don’t wait to speak with an attorney.
We offer a free consultation to help you understand your rights and next steps.
