Long-Term Care Liability
As the U.S. population ages and life expectancy rises, long‑term care providers face increasing pressure—not only from growing demand, but also from a sharp rise in litigation. Nursing homes, personal care homes, and assisted living facilities are navigating heightened scrutiny and an already strained care system. Our long‑term care liability team is dedicated to defending these providers, offering deep experience, broad geographic reach, and a focused understanding of the unique challenges inherent in this type of litigation.
Long‑term care cases often involve complex allegations ranging from abuse, neglect and regulatory non‑compliance, to claims of corporate negligence, fraudulent documentation and punitive damages. These matters can be further complicated by staffing issues, extensive discovery needs, and the involvement of inexperienced witnesses. Our attorneys work closely with clients to craft tailored defense strategies that balance strong advocacy with cost‑effective decision‑making. Whether pursuing early resolution or taking a case to trial, we are committed to achieving the best possible outcome for every client.
Our practice co-chairs, Leslie Jenny and Lynne Nahmani, lead a talented team of trial lawyers who concentrate on defending long-term care litigation. Their philosophy: “As the long‑term care landscape grows more complex, our mission remains simple: deliver smart, strategic, and unwavering defense for the providers who care for our aging population. Every case presents its own challenges, and we take pride in partnering closely with our clients to navigate them with clarity, efficiency, and confidence.”
