Potentially Responsible Parties

Nursing home facilities are often complex business entities with several employees. Although there are many state and federal regulations that dictate how these facilities must run, there are many cases where the operators and employees simply fail to follow the rules or willingly cut corners.

When it comes to liability, there may be several entities that are responsible for your loved one’s death. Some examples are:

  • The owner and operator of the facility
  • Doctors on staff
  • Other residents in the facility
  • Aides
  • Nurses
  • Other family members
  • Visitors
  • General staff members

Your attorneys will use their resources to figure out what kind of business structure is involved and whether any of these parties should be brought to justice for their role in your loved one’s death.

Investigating a Wrongful Death at a Nursing Home

It can be hard to get the information you need from a nursing home facility. Sometimes they try to withhold records and other information or fail to disclose the entire picture of what happened. Since you are not there around the clock, you probably feel like you have to take their word for it. But this is simply not true. Your lawyers can locate and obtain evidence that can help support your case.

Examples of evidence that may be useful in your case include:

  • Medical records
  • Consults with medical experts
  • Testimony from other staff members or residents
  • Post-mortem medical examinations
  • Coroner reports
  • Video footage or surveillance
  • Photographs

It can be incredibly painful for a family to have to collect this evidence and see proof of what happened to their loved one. Working with an attorney on our team can help protect you from the pain of seeing the trauma that your loved one endured while protecting your right to fair compensation.

When we looked into seeking representation after my son's car accident we did not know anybody who had experience with as an attorney with car wrecks. So we looked online at all the firms that specialize in auto accidents, then by using as our criteria the reviews we selected The Fitch Law firm. Right from the start they were extremely helpful .  They explained how the process would go based on our specifics of the accident and then basically did all the work to file a claim and get all that we were entitled to. Working with Becky and Kirstin was perfect, they kept us informed every step of the way and if we had questions they had time to explain them making sure we understood each time. Our case was not a high dollar amount but they still offered above average service and looked out for us like it was. I highly recommend The Fitch Law firm without hesitation.

Our experience with the Fitch Law Firm was incredible. We worked with Kirstin, and she's really gone above and beyond for us. I cannot recommend them highly enough. After our car accident, we were so overwhelmed by the insurance companies, and Kirstin made everything so easy for us. We never would have gotten such a good settlement without her. They seem to really care about their clients, and they are very responsive. They worked hard to answer our questions thoroughly and in a timely manner.

I was involved in an accident as the passenger of the responsible party during Feb. of 2020. I completed physical therapy in June of the same year. I worked with a firm that was not as responsive as I would have liked, so I sought representation elsewhere to ensure the claim was handled correctly. I couldn’t have been more fortunate to task The Fitch Law Firm with this case. Associate attorney Kirstin Peterson was assigned to my case, and I couldn’t have asked for someone so thorough, professional, responsive and down right genuinely caring than her. There were some unforeseen obstacles, but throughout my doubts she maintained consistent in reassuring me she was doing everything she could to make sure things were going as smoothly as possible. I highly recommend this firm and having nothing but more than positive things to say about the associate attorney assigned to my case. Thank you so much Fitch Law Firm, and Kirstin Peterson. You guys are extraordinary in what you do!

I was in a car accident on 10/21/2018 that was not my fault. I googled different accident laywers. And came across the fitch law firm. From the first time i walked thru the doors mr fitch and becky made me feel at ease. Mr fitch thought my case woukd be good to take on. The other parties insurance was extremely difficult to deal with.and i can say mr fitch represented me well. And Becky checked in on me and kept me updated on the case. Its been 2 years and my case finally settled i was ok with the amount given. And i will use the fitch law firm again if ever needed.
