How long will a nursing home abuse or neglect case take?
There is simply no easy answer to this question. The vast majority of all cases, including nursing home abuse and neglect cases, are settled prior to trial. Some cases are settled prior to the filing of a lawsuit, while others are settled during litigation or even on the “steps of the courthouse” just before trial. A nursing home abuse and neglect case, if litigated to trial, could last a number of years. One who pursues a nursing home abuse and neglect case should understand from the outset that a quick resolution cannot be guaranteed. Return to FAQ menu.
