Tinley Park, IL — 11/20/2020: Personal injury law continues to be one of the most essential and expansive areas of practiced law for attorneys, which McDermott & McDermott Ltd boast 41+ years of experience in. The Illinois law practice has expanded their work in the personal injury field to include cases hinging on negligence and similar aspects of the law including nursing home abuse and neglect.
Illinois has been flagged in recent years as the state with the most cases of nursing home abuse incidents, with recent numbers not showing much of an improvement. Although some nursing homes may try to make pursuing a claim against them fully harder via arbitration agreements to settle out of court, Illinois state law may still allow you to circumvent in the case of unconscionable contract clauses.
McDermott & McDermott Ltd has been working for decades to ensure that these kinds of arbitrative and litigative scenarios don’t end up with the complainant being disadvantaged. The attorneys seek to level the playing field by pushing back against larger organizations seeking to settle out of court using legal tactics civilians are not aware of.
They evaluate each nursing home abuse case starting from the original contract of terms of service and take it from there. In many cases, McDermott & McDermott Ltd has had to inform complainants of the wider scope of the nursing home neglect and abuse case, since Illinois legislation states that even respect and privacy must be guaranteed to residents, let alone outright neglect or malicious abuse.
Their attorneys’ determination for social justice and commitment to the victims of elder abuse in nursing homes is what sets the practice apart. A spokesperson from the company stated, “It can be shocking to discover that over 400 nursing homes were found to be neglectful all over the country, of which 22 are located in Illinois. This doesn’t even list the number of abusive employees that could be acting of their own accord within well-reputed nursing homes.
In some cases, neglect and abuse can even lead to a wrongful death case — which is why we make sure to advertise our experience in this area. Our clients can rest assured that we will pursue their claim as far as possible to get them the compensation they deserve and ensure the party at fault is penalized.”
The practice also provides legal assistance to claims in worker’s compensation, medical malpractice, and truck and car accident cases among others.
