Verdicts and settlements

When you entrusted the wellbeing of your mother or father to a reputable nursing home, you expected your loved one to receive care and protection. You may be shocked to learn that your beloved elderly family member has suffered from abuse or neglect at the hands of the Chicago or Mississippi long term care facility that you chose carefully.

Contact Byrd & Associates as soon as you suspect that the injury was caused by negligence.

We are prepared to uncover the truth about the negligence or abuse that caused injury to your family member in a nursing home. Common evidence of nursing home abuse often includes one or more of the following:

• decubitus ulcers (bed sores)
• broken bones
• dehydration
• sudden change in behavior
• fractures
• bruises
• black eyes
• welts
• lacerations
• open wounds

Our Legacy of Success Means Skilled Advocacy for You

Byrd & Associates has a tradition of advocacy on behalf of those who are unable to defend themselves against negligence and wrongful conduct. Cornerstones of our success have included competence, client credibility, communal caring , and commitment.

Representing the Victim Before those Responsible for Abuse and Injury

Our experience and our willingness to vigorously represent the victim before all liable individuals, institutions, and insurers means that we are prepared to fight fiercely on your behalf for the sake of a worthy cause. If we believe that you will be better served by a law firm whose primary focus is nursing home abuse, we will not hesitate to work together with other lawyers at no additional cost to you.

Contingency Based Fees

If Byrd & Associates accepts your nursing home abuse or wrongful death case, we work on a contingency basis. This means that you will not owe attorney's fees until and unless you receive a settlement or verdict as compensation for your injuries.
