It is very important to have an experienced personal attorney who has expertise in the handling and presentation of a nursing home abuse case. Your attorney will be able to suggest a team of experts that can range from private investigators to engineers to doctors to economists to help develop your case.
5. Who will pay the expenses of hiring all of these experts?
In most cases, the law firm or attorneys will advance all costs and expenses of the case as they are incurred. Once the case is concluded, they would be reimbursed for their costs out of the recovery. In some states, even if there is no recovery, the client is still responsible for the costs and expenses of the case even though the client owes no legal fees.
