There are exceptions for cases involving minors or individuals with mental incapacity. It is important to speak with a lawyer promptly to avoid missing this deadline.
What types of compensation can I recover in a nursing home abuse case in Irwin?
Victims may recover compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and the cost of moving to a safer facility. In cases of extreme misconduct, Pennsylvania law also allows for punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer. An attorney can evaluate your case to determine what damages apply.
