Protection for victims of SC nursing home neglect / Peace of mind for families
South Carolina nursing home abuse and neglect remains a significant concern for families entrusting the care of a loved one to an assisted living or other care facility. State and federal laws mandate levels of quality care for all nursing home residents, including issues of medical treatment, supervision and training for employees. When a nursing home fails to meet those standards and an injury or death occurs, your family needs a nursing home neglect lawyer from Standeffer & Harbin, LLP who can quickly correct the negligent conditions, arrange alternative care and secure compensation for treatment and rehabilitation.

Negotiating on your behalf against the insurance company:
The injury or death of a vulnerable loved one resulting from a nursing home injury is an event both emotionally traumatic and financially damaging. Dealing with the guilt while arranging new accommodations can be overwhelming after an episode of South Carolina nursing home abuse and neglect. Many nursing homes and their insurance companies may attempt to exploit family members during this time, intimidating them into signing away their legal right to compensation for a reduced settlement or no settlement at all.
At the Anderson, SC law offices of Standeffer & Harbin, LLP, our nursing home neglect legal team consists of a former insurance company lawyer and other individuals skilled in the identification of liability and the recovery of maximum compensation plus punitive damages where appropriate. While we value a negotiated settlement, we are at our core South Carolina trial lawyers skilled at preparing and presenting complex nursing home abuse litigation at all levels of the state and federal courts.
