Is Your Lawsuit Frivolous?

When a person is abused by a nursing home employee, they may be left with feelings of fear and betrayal. Worst of all, they may not be sure about where to turn for help. However, a legal advisor can help these residents seek justice for the wrongdoing committed against them. Reaching out to an attorney is an important first step for a person considering legal action, as they should check to see whether their case is legally legitimate or not.

If you’re thinking about pursuing legal action after sustaining an injury or suffering a hurtful injustice from a nursing home worker, we may be able to help. To discuss the full details of your claim, contact the New Jersey nursing home abuse lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., today at 1-800-346-5529.

What Are the Requirements for a Lawsuit?

A person filing for compensation after an injury needs to make sure that their claim follows the law. This means that a person needs to be able to prove the following:

  • The defendant needs to owe the nursing home resident a duty
  • The injury the nursing home resident sustained was caused by the defendant
  • The injury can be compensated for through financial means

A lawsuit either asking for impossible means of compensation or based off of an injury that wasn’t caused by a nursing home worker may be immediately dropped by the court. A legal advisor can help a resident determine whether a case can be taken to court or not.
