Published: April 22, 2025

If you or a loved one has been hurt or mistreated, help is available. A personal injury lawyer for seniors can investigate what happened, deal with insurance companies, and pursue compensation—so you can focus on healing. Free, no-obligation case review.

What We Help Seniors With

Nursing home neglect and abuse (bedsores, dehydration, unexplained injuries)
Slip and fall injuries (wet floors, poor lighting, unsafe walkways)
Medical malpractice and medication errors
Car, pedestrian, and rideshare accidents
Caregiver negligence and financial exploitation
Wrongful death

How a Personal Injury Lawyer Protects Seniors

Investigates and preserves evidence quickly (photos, camera footage, medical records)
Handles all insurer calls and paperwork to prevent lowball offers
Calculates full damages, including medical bills, future care, pain and suffering, and caregiver support
Coordinates medical evaluations and expert testimony
Meets you at home, in the hospital, or virtually—whatever is easiest for you
Works on contingency in most cases: you pay no attorney’s fees unless we win
Files on time and protects your rights, including protection against retaliation in care settings

It’s Now Easier to Find the Right Lawyer

Simple 3-step intake

Call or submit form

Free case review

Clear next steps within 24 hours

What To Do After an Injury or Suspected Neglect

Get medical care immediately and follow your doctor’s instructions
Take photos of injuries and the scene; keep clothing, shoes, or devices involved
Write down names of witnesses and staff
Save bills, medication lists, and discharge papers
