[Springfield, 07/11/2017] – The Noll Law Office recognizes the vulnerability of nursing home residents. It further knows the devastation of finding out the loss or abuse of a loved one in a facility.

The Illinois-based law firm remarks, “At the Noll Law Office, our nursing home abuse and neglect attorneys have the legal experience needed to represent your family. Our family firm is renowned for compassionate communication with clients and aggressive advocacy in court.”

Representing Victims of Abuse

The Noll Law Office shares that the state has an unfortunate history with nursing home abuse. Cases range from stolen medications to patent neglect. In response, state legislature created the INHCA, or Illinois Nursing Home Care Act.

The family law firm says, “Under the INHCA, it is illegal to neglect or abuse nursing home residents. The nursing home is financially liable for any injuries caused by its employees as a result of neglect or abuse.”

Under the INHCA, the nursing home also has to pay for lawyer’s fees and court costs when the plaintiff wins.

The Noll Law Office represents clients on all types of nursing home abuse and neglect claims, including sexual assault, death, physical abuse, failure to provide proper medication, and clogged breathing tubes.
