Are you, or a loved one, the victim of Abuse and Negligence?

Our Experienced Abuse and Negligence Lawyers Are on Your Side

Elderly Abuse

If you or your loved one has suffered abuse or negligent care at the hands of another, you may be entitled to receive compensation. Arizona is home to many individuals who need extra care; often, these individuals are young children spending time at daycare or elderly adults residing at an assisted living facility or nursing home. Unfortunately, places that are charged with caring for our most vulnerable loved ones are not immune to unscrupulous employees or neglectful policies. If you or someone you know has experienced this kind of treatment, you can turn to The Valley Law Group to find legal help for victims of nursing home abuse or daycare abuse. 

Parents entrust their most precious loved ones to the care and protection of the daycare center, sometimes only to have that child suffer abuse or negligent harm at the hands of those who were supposed to care for them. If this describes you, a daycare negligence attorney from The Valley Law Group can help you. Similarly, if you or an elderly loved one has suffered harm or abuse in their nursing home or assisted living residence, the nursing home abuse lawyers from The Valley Law Group can help.

Consulting an Attorney

The first step in the process is to seek counsel and representation from a compassionate and effective personal injury attorney. At The Valley Law Group, our attorneys have a track record that demonstrates numerous successful injury claims cases. You can put our expertise to the test to ensure you receive the compensation you are due. Your attorney can help you gather any evidence necessary and collect the documentation you need to build a strong case.

Filing a Claim

After you choose an attorney, they can begin to file your compensation claim. Your attorney can ensure that no deadlines are missed in the filing process and that all the paperwork is filled out correctly and on time. At this stage, it is important to provide the information requested and trust that your attorney has your best interests and the interests of your child or parent at heart.

Negotiations

Your attorney can then enter into negotiations with the insurance company and attorneys representing the daycare center, the nursing home, or the party at fault, depending on the nature of the abuse and your claim. At this time, it is best to provide your attorney with any additional information that they might require of you and to trust their judgment as they negotiate with all parties involved in the claim.

Trial or Litigation

If a favorable settlement is still out of reach, your attorney will likely bring the claim to court and begin litigation with the parties at fault, including their insurance company and attorneys. At this point, your attorney will present your documentation, demonstrate fault, and thoroughly describe the injuries involved. This information will help them advocate for the appropriate compensation for your damages.

Abuse Injury Frequently Asked Questions

When individuals with personal injury claims for abuse injuries decide to pursue compensation in civil court, they typically have many questions regarding their case, compensation claim, or the damages they might be able to recover. At The Valley Law Group, we believe it is crucial that our clients are informed of every available legal option as we address their concerns. Below, we have answered some of the most commonly asked questions we receive regarding abuse injury cases.
What Should I Do If I Suspect Nursing Home Abuse?
If you suspect that abuse is taking place in a nursing home, you should call the police. This is especially true if there is imminent danger to residents or clear abuse occurring. Otherwise, you can file a complaint. You can also call the National Center on Elder Abuse to ensure that the abuse and neglect is investigated. Once you have done all this, you should secure the assistance of an Arizona nursing home abuse lawyer.
How Can I Prove Negligence or Abuse in a Daycare Injury Case?
To prove negligence or abuse in a daycare injury case, you can take several actions. First, you will want to document your child’s injuries by taking photographs and videos of them. You can also keep a written journal of your child’s state when you drop off and pick up from the daycare center, as well as the appearances of other children. You will also want to keep a record of your child’s medical visits pertaining to the injuries or harm they suffer at their daycare center.
What Types of Compensation Can I Receive for Abuse Injuries?
There are several different types of compensation you might be entitled to receive in cases of abuse injuries, depending on the nature and the severity of the injuries themselves. The types of damages you might be able to claim for abuse injuries include medical bills, lost wages, loss of future earning ability, pain and suffering, and the loss of the enjoyment of life. You may receive compensation for one, several, or all of these damages.
How Long Does It Take To Resolve an Abuse Injury Claim?
The timeline of most abuse injury claims depends on several factors that can be involved in an abuse injury compensation claim. These factors include the severity of the injuries, the number of parties involved in the claim, the complexity of the incident, the evidence needed for the case, and the healing time involved. Typically, you can expect your case to take at least several months.

Simply put, Ryan is outstanding! ! I’ve used his services exclusively for the last 6+ years on multiple custody and visitation cases. After having gone through three less than transparent attorneys before Ryan, it was incredibly refreshing when I found him. He’s courteous, responsive and the utmost professional. Best of all, I feel that I can trust his advice explicitly. A true rarity in this industry! Bottom line: I wouldn’t consider even having a conversation with another attorney!

Ryan did a good job especially considering I didn't have an attorney most of my divorce. I would recommend him, but get him onboard at the beginning not the end.
