A Few Minutes May Mean Thousands in Compensation
The impact of abuse or neglect in nursing homes can be severe and wide-ranging. Common injuries among elderly residents include:
Physical or Sexual
Abuse Injuries
Unexplained bruises, cuts, infections, broken bones, or frequent falls can often be signs of possible physical or sexual mistreatment.
Emotional and Psychological Damage
Victims may show signs of fear, anxiety, sudden mood changes, or withdrawal from social interactions, which could indicate emotional abuse.
Neglect-Related Health Problems
Neglect can lead to a failure of timely diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions such as bedsores, malnutrition, medication errors, and dehydration.

This is a Mass Tort, Not a
Class Action
What's the difference?
In a mass tort, victims are treated as individuals and the specific merits of each claim are taken into consideration. In a class action, every victim has a similar injury and is treated identically.
The benefit of mass tort litigation is that plaintiffs have more power in settlement negotiations which ultimately lead to significantly greater payouts compared to class actions.
- Settlements and payouts tend to be significantly higher compared to class action awards
- Plaintiffs have more power in settlement negotiations
Mass Tort Payments

Background on Nursing Home Abuse
Currently, over 1.3 million people reside in nursing homes, with millions more in other types of senior care settings like assisted living facilities and at-home care. Despite the trust placed in these facilities, reports of abuse have risen sharply.
Nursing home abuse can manifest in various forms, including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, as well as financial exploitation and neglect. These incidents not only cause immediate harm but also long-term psychological and physical damage.
At Guardian Legal Network, we recognize the critical importance of these issues. Legal action can help to hold negligent parties accountable and secure compensation for the residents' suffering, medical costs, and other related damages.
