What Is My Illinois Nursing Home Abuse Claim Worth?

If you plan to file a nursing home abuse claim in Illinois, know that there is no set formula to estimate the value of your claim. A Chicago nursing home abuse attorney can advise you on the types of damages you can pursue, but even the best attorney can't accurately predict the value of your claim.

If your Chicago nursing home abuse attorney determines that you have a valid case, they may investigate how the abuse occurred, what kind of injuries were suffered, and what kind of abuse or neglect caused your loved one's injuries.

Some typical signs of nursing home abuse include: 

• Bruises;
• Bedsores;
• Unexplained injuries; and
• Complaints of isolation and neglect. 

If you do proceed with an Illinois nursing home abuse lawsuit, you may claim damages for such factors as: 

• Medical bills;
• Therapy;
• Restitution, in a case of financial abuse;
• Your loved one's pain and suffering;
• Loss of life; and/or
• Punitive damages.
