According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), any of the following could constitute nursing home abuse:

If your elderly parent or spouse experienced any abuse during their stay at a nursing home, our law firm will help you build a solid case for financial compensation.
Colorado’s Nursing Home Abuse Statute of Limitations
The nursing home abuse statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of the injury or its discovery, according to CO. Rev. Stat. § 13-80-102. If the filing deadline expires:
- The court could refuse to allow you to file your lawsuit.
- The court could dismiss your lawsuit out of hand.
- The insurance company could stop negotiations.
Any of these outcomes could leave you with no further legal recourse to compel compensation. The filing deadline is mandatory, but determining if exceptions apply can be challenging. Our nursing home abuse attorneys will work to file your lawsuit on time and in the proper venue.
Evidence Your Nursing Home Abuse Attorney Collects for Your Case File
To build your case file, we’ll identify and interview fellow nursing home residents, staff, team members, vendors, and suppliers. In addition, we’ll collect evidence that strengthens your case file, including the following:
- Financial records
- Post-injury medical bills
- Photos and video footage
- Nursing home records and bills
- Your loved one’s medical records
We also collect evidence you might find hard to access on your own, including the nursing home’s licensing and hiring records and a specific staff member’s work records.
