About Us

The Nursing Home & Elder Abuse Law Center was started in 2004 in Walnut Creek, California by two trial lawyers who were concerned with the growing elder abuse and neglect problem in California.

Our Elder Abuse Law Center specializes in filing civil lawsuits throughout California against skilled nursing homes (also known as SNF’s) and residential care facilities for the elderly (also known as RCFE’s) on behalf of seniors and elders who have suffered serious injuries as a result of elder abuse and neglect.

With a mission to prevent nursing home neglect and elder abuse, NHEALC’s nursing home abuse lawyers use California’s legal system to obtain justice and compensation for victims and their families.

“No Elder Abuse” . . . It’s Not Just Our Legal Specialty — It’s Our Passion!

Our Process

Once we accept a case, there is typically no fee until we recover from the abusive and/or neglectful nursing home, RCFE, or other long term care provider.

Because we invest a great deal of time, money, and resources (including the retention of absolutely the best medical experts in the country) on behalf of our clients when we bring a civil case against a nursing home or RCFE, we must be selective in the cases that we accept.

– In many cases, we will be able to quickly determine whether or not you have a claim for elder abuse or neglect.

– In cases where the medical issues are complex, we will often need to have our medical experts review the records before we can confirm the suspected abuse. We have a team of the best experts in the world to help us with your case.

We rely heavily on a unique set of laws called the Elder Adult and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act, as well as various state and federal statutes and regulations pertaining to the appropriate care and protection of California seniors.

If your loved one has been the victim of elder abuse or neglect and has sustained serious injuries, they may be entitled to monetary compensation and restitution for all losses, including payment of their medical bills, future treatment and care, pain and suffering, etc.

So remember, if a nursing home neglects a resident, and such neglect causes a serious injury, then the nursing home or long-term care facility may be liable for elder abuse. If you are unsure, contact us – an experienced elder law attorney who specializes in elder abuse and elder neglect cases.
