The experienced attorneys at Airdo Werwas, LLC, are passionate about defending operators and employees of long-term healthcare facilities against allegations of negligence and abuse.

We also counsel facilities in minimizing risk in their operations and maintaining compliance in regulatory matters, including responding to state surveyors and IDPH citations. Our Illinois-based law firm accepts cases nationwide, and our team has nearly 160 years of combined experience.

Skilled Litigators Build Strong Defenses Against Injury Claims

To prove nursing home neglect, abuse, or malpractice cases, plaintiffs must show that nursing home staff violated their duty of care in some way.

Some possible defenses against injury and wrongful death liability claims include the following:

• The resident’s injury or condition occurred due to the natural progression of age
• The injury or condition was unpreventable, despite the use of appropriate interventions
• Nursing home and facility staff were in compliance with the Illinois Nursing Home Care Act or other state statute and federal laws in providing care for the resident

Established claims of nursing home violations can lead to citations, fines, licensing restrictions, and other penalties for care facility operators. When you are working hard to ensure resident safety and well-being and are subjected to complaints, our long-term healthcare attorneys will put their considerable resources to work in standing up for your interests.
