Hold negligent facilities accountable and fund your parent’s recovery today
Nursing Home Negligence Lawyers
Your family trusted professionals with your parent’s care, yet bedsores and dehydration expose Florida nursing home negligence. Filing a Section 400.0233 presuit notice ignites a 75 day inquiry, compelling the facility to release staffing logs, camera footage, and infection control audits. I’m Percy Martinez, and my litigation team turns those documents and reports into funds for rehabilitation and policies that protect future residents.

Understand the duty of care so you know when to act fast
Nursing home negligence and why does it matter
Neglect arises when a facility breaches its duty to keep residents safe, causing injuries that reasonable care would have prevented. Understanding that threshold lets you decide quickly whether bedsores, falls, or dehydration justify a lawsuit, saving critical weeks. The WHO reports 12 percent of staff admit neglect, yet only one in fourteen incidents ever reaches authorities, proving the scale. Our board certified elder law team, including a former defense attorney, turns that evidence into winning claims from day one.
Recognize red flags early and protect your loved one now
How to spot signs of nursing home abuse
Bruises, sudden weight loss, or a resident who flinches when staff approach are louder than words. Recognizing these early clues helps you intervene before neglect becomes catastrophic saving health, legal costs, and emotional distress. The National Institute on Aging lists behavior changes and unexplained injuries among the clearest red flags families should note. Our 24/7 legal team lets you confirm whether a symptom matches known negligence patterns within minutes.


See who Florida law empowers to file and recover damages
Who can file a nursing home negligence claim
Florida law lets residents, spouses, adult children, or estate representatives file a nursing home negligence claim when substandard care causes harm. You must show the facility owed a duty, breached federal and state standards, and that the breach caused measurable damages. Our digital intake process assembles incident reports, medical records, and staffing logs within 48 hours, locking down evidence before it disappears. Evidence fades call before key records vanish and protect your right to full damages today.
We calculate every cost so no future need goes unpaid
What compensation can families recover
Damages in nursing home malpractice cases go far beyond reimbursing medical bills. You can seek payment for pain, mental anguish, disfigurement, relocation costs, and wrongful death funeral expenses. Recent settlements reached $45 million in Florida after understaffing left residents sitting in their own waste. Our trial ready approach has delivered eight figure verdicts that force corporate owners to fix systemic problems and fund lifetime care.

Not all cases have legs. Take that previous client’s review with a tablespoon of salt. Mr. Martinez stayed with my case for five years, through a multitude of delays and stonewalling by the defendant.
