If you suspect a loved one has suffered abuse or neglect in a Maynard nursing home, a Massachusetts nursing home abuse lawyer can help you understand your legal options. Massachusetts General Law Chapter 93A protects elders from unfair and deceptive practices, and Chapter 19A requires facilities to report abuse. An attorney can investigate the facility, gather evidence, and pursue compensation for medical costs and pain and suffering.
What Does a Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer in Maynard Cost?
Most Massachusetts nursing home abuse lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you receive compensation. The typical fee is between 33% and 40% of the final settlement or award. Some lawyers may charge a small upfront fee for case costs, but many cover these expenses until the case ends. Costs vary by case complexity and the amount of evidence needed. This is general information and not legal advice.
