How an Attorney from Hughey Law Firm Can Lead Your Lawsuit
We understand that your loved one is in no position to lead a legal case. You likely do not have time or energy to meet the demands of a lawsuit, either. This is no problem, as Hughey Law Firm handles elder abuse and neglect cases in their entirety.
Our team of attorneys can assist you by:
- Obtaining evidence that supports your loved one’s case: The type of evidence we seek and obtain will depend on the type of mistreatment your loved one has suffered. For physical mistreatment, we’ll get images of their injuries. For psychological abuse, we’ll consult mental health professionals. For financial exploitation, we may get bank records.
- Identifying liable parties: Once we’ve reviewed relevant evidence, spoken with your loved one, and completed other due diligence, we’ll identify liable parties. The owners of Somerby of Mount Pleasant may be among those liable parties.
- Documenting your loved one’s damages: We will get proof of your loved one’s damages. This may include medical records, bills for relocation expenses, testimony from experts about physical and psychological injuries, and other relevant documentation.
- Representing you in settlement negotiations: Those responsible for your loved one’s damages may be willing to pay for their damages. Most civil cases end with a settlement. However, Hughey Law Firm expects to have to fight for the settlement your loved one deserves—and we will.
