Seeking the Compensation You Deserve
Our country’s graying baby boomer generation is creating an increased demand for nursing home care. The growing number of elderly citizens who need long-term care in their later years has led to higher incidents of abuse in nursing homes and facilities.
If your loved one has suffered abuse in a nursing home abuse, he or she is entitled to make a claim to recover damages against the home’s owners and/or staff responsible for the safety of its residents. Our experienced Alabama nursing home abuse lawyers can provide skilled and compassionate care throughout your claim.

These statistics display the shocking extent of the abuse of the elderly in our nation’s care facilities:

”This law firm has been nothing less than a delight to be associated with. Randall Caldwell and his team have been hard at work on my case since I first came to them for help. In the meantime, every legal matter I have had questions, concerns, or needed any repressentation with, they have not hesitated to step out of their normal proceedings to help their client. Deborah and Jackie have been EXTREMELY helpful during all of this. Deborah has gone beyond helpful, postponing her schedule to work on urgent matters of mine. Any time I go to the office, the staff is friendly and professional and everyone always speaks to me. It’s very refreshing to always feel so welcome. My appreciation for this law firm and associates can not be expressed in words. I trust all of these people here and recommend them to everyone.” – Shelby Godwin (Google Review)
