More Information on Nursing Home Abuse Law
Most neglect cases are viewed through the prism of negligence. Negligence as a legal concept requires five elements:
Statute of Limitations
When considering legal action, one must consider the Connecticut statute of limitations. This is a defined time limit wherein an injured party must file a complaint at court for the case to be heard. CT General Statute 203-433-0689 states that any action alleging personal injury must be filed within two years of when the injury occurs. This may seem like a long time, but the process of gathering evidence and settling negotiations can last months. Therefore, it is important for individuals to contact one of our attorneys quickly so we can take action right away.

How BBB Attorneys Can Help You

Whether you or a loved one has been the victim of intentional abuse or neglect at a Connecticut nursing home, our compassionate attorneys will fight by your side every step of the way. By diligently collecting evidence and conducting tough negotiations, many cases never need to see a courtroom. If the case does need to go to court, they will argue before the jury with passion.
