When you trust a nursing home or assisted living facility to care for you or someone you love, you expect safety. If you or someone you love was neglected, hurt, or died because that care fell short, you're probably angry, heartbroken, and looking for answers. We can help you find out what happened — and whether the facility should be held accountable. For more than 25 years, The Law Offices of JM Reinan has represented families in these exact cases. Tell us what happened during a free consultation.
Nursing home and assisted living cases take different shapes. These are the ones we see most often.
Many of these cases involve a loss that didn't have to happen. If neglect or abuse contributed to your family member's death, you may be able to bring a wrongful death claim.
Assisted living facilities market independence and dignity, but understaffing and poor care can put vulnerable residents at real risk.
Pressure injuries, repeated falls, and preventable infections are common signs of neglect, and each can support a claim on its own.
We take fewer cases than most firms so we can give each one real attention. Jay Reinan has tried more than 50 jury trials, and he spent his early career defending nursing homes and hospitals before switching sides in 1999 to represent families, so he knows exactly how these facilities defend themselves. He also wrote the nursing home abuse and neglect chapter for the Colorado Elder Law Bar and has taught trial skills to other attorneys. You get a lawyer who knows this work and will tell you the truth about your case.
We're based in Denver and represent families across Colorado, Wyoming, and Minnesota, in cities and in the rural communities where Jay has tried cases throughout his career.
Usually the injured resident, or, if they've died or can't act for themselves, a spouse, adult child or sibling acting on their behalf. Standing depends on the state where the injury occurred and the facts surrounding the injury, and we can discuss the particulars of your case on our initial call.
You may still have a case. When neglect or abuse contributed to a death, the family can often bring a wrongful death claim. We handle these with care for what your family is going through.
Through the facility's own records, photographs, what family members and staff saw, and, where needed, medical experts. You don't need to have all of this figured out before you call. That's our job.
There's a deadline, and it can be shorter than people expect. It's best to talk to a lawyer as soon as you can so you don't lose the right to bring a claim.
We handle these cases on a contingency fee, so you don't pay attorney fees unless we recover for you.
