We have obtained significant settlements and jury verdicts for our clients throughout the entire State of Michigan. In fact, we settle over 97% of our medical negligence and nursing home abuse and neglect cases before they ever go to trial. We can do the same for you. We use our experience, skill and knowledge accomplish these results. Below is a representative sample of our past successes:
There is no set formula used to determine the amount of a nursing home abuse settlement. Many people research for “average settlement amounts,” but there is really no such average. There are specific factors that plaintiff’s lawyers, defense lawyers, and insurance companies consider in evaluating the proper amount of a settlement.

Our Michigan nursing home abuse attorneys have been successfully representing good people who have been neglected or abused in skilled nursing facilities for over forty years.

We are often asked this question when contacted by a new client and it is a difficult one to answer. Many lawyers will tell you an unrealistically high amount so that you hire their firm, only to be disappointed later that the result did not meet your expectations.
We believe the best approach is to tell our clients that they have a strong case, but we will not know the actual worth until we have reviewed medical records and determined liability in the case. This is the honest approach and most clients would prefer honesty over false promises.
Our lawyers will give you an approximate, realistic settlement range for your case once a full evaluation has been performed. We discuss our settlement strategies with you and get your input so you are fully satisfied with your compensation award. There is never a settlement without your approval.
