The Most Awarded Personal Care Home Negligence Attorneys in Georgia

Mr. Davis is an accomplished personal care home negligence attorney in Atlanta, Georgia. He has received virtually every award and honor available to Georgia trial attorneys. He is one of the foremost experts on medical malpractice law in Georgia. Published on March 16, 2017, last updated on June 21, 2019.
Instead of providing quality care for our loved ones, poorly trained (if trained at all) staff members, almost all of whom are unfamiliar with (or entirely unaware of) Georgia’s rules and regulations governing personal care homes are hired by the facility to merely watch the residents.
A lawyer recently defending a personal care home in a lawsuit brought by our firm recently acknowledged, “We are just glorified babysitters,” a stunning admission that is evidence the way personal care homes truly operate.
Many times, a corrupt deal is struck between a personal care home and a third-party home health or hospice corporation to provide services to the resident for the sole purpose of keeping the resident in the personal care home even though he or she is no longer appropriate for that type of setting.
This financial arrangement financially benefits the personal care home and the outside healthcare provider, but not the resident. And when the resident ultimately deteriorates (often as a result of horrific bedsores and pressure injuries due to substandard care), the personal care home and the third-party provider either blame each other or unite in their defense and blame the resident and/or the resident’s family.
Like many assisted living facilities, too many personal care homes in Georgia are despicable operations that essentially steal money from residents and their families while providing a level of care that’s shockingly negligent. Davis Adams is committed to continuing to hold these facilities responsible for their awful misconduct.
TYPES OF PERSONAL CARE HOME NEGLIGENCE
Personal Care Home Negligence can differ according to each instance. Generally speaking, there are four types of personal care home negligence. Those four types are as follows:
- Medical neglect. This is when the nursing center fails to appropriately provide medical care or address the resident’s medical troubles, including provisional look after diabetic issues, bedsores, infections, cognitive conditions, movement issues, and lacerations.
- Neglect of Fundamental Demands. This is where the nursing facility falls short to supply the resident with a sensible amount of water or food, or fails to supply a clean and secure atmosphere.
- Neglect of Personal Health. This is where retirement home citizens do not have ample aid with cleaning, brushing their teeth, laundry, showering or various other sorts of hygiene methods.
- Social or Emotional Neglect. This is where staff members consistently ignore the assisted living facility homeowner, leaving them alone, or are yelled at by an overstressed employee.
If you have a loved one whom you suspect may be suffering from assisted living facility negligence, don’t hesitate to take action.
We are always honing our skills as personal care home negligence attorneys. Nobody does it better.
WHAT IS THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS FOR PERSONAL CARE HOME NEGLIGENCE?
Normally, the statute of constraint for personal care home negligence in Georgia is 2 years from the date of the negligent treatment. This holds true for many types of medical malpractice case, from IV infiltration lawsuits to stroke misdiagnosis.
However, particular circumstances can expand the statute of limitations (for instance, when a provider conceals negligent care that’s later found). Various other scenarios can entail shorter period within which a case has to be pursued (for instance, when the negligent carrier is employed by a federal government entity, which can institute deadlines as brief as six months from the date of the irresponsible care).
To add to that, some specific types of negligence, such as when a foreign item is left inside a patient after surgery, have unique laws of limitation (for international cases, it’s one year from the day the things is uncovered).
And also to make issues much more complex, personal care home negligence situations are also subject to a five-year statute of repose. This is planned to be a “final target date,” beyond which a negligence claim cannot be declared for any reason. However, there are some exceptions to this as well.
So, the very best answer is that the statute of limitations depends. We recommend that you don’t try to identify the statute of limitations that applies to you alone. Call Davis Adams, and we’ll be more than happy to gather and assess the facts needed to let you know the appropriate statute of limitations.

HOW MUCH IS MY PERSONAL CARE HOME NEGLIGENCE CASE WORTH?
Lots of people who contact our firm do so reluctantly. They aren’t happy about the possibility of needing to take legal action against a personal care home for negligence, and they comprehend that cash won’t resolve every one of their problems– and it certainly can’t recover their injury.
Yet financial settlement is the only kind of justice the law allows under these circumstances. Once we have reviewed the facts of your case, we can offer our clients an estimate as to the reasonable worth of their situations. The variables we will examine consist of:
Economic damages, consisting of:
- previous clinical costs;
- future/projected medical expenditures, consisting of life-care strategies;
- past lost earnings; and also
- future lost revenue.
Non-economic damages, including:
- physical discomfort and suffering;
- psychological or emotional discomfort and suffering;
- loss of consortium (friendship); as well as
- the amount of a life (in wrongful death instances).
Commonly personal care home negligence cases in Georgia are settled at mediation, which lets our customers avoid the risk as well as the psychological toll related to a trial. It also gives them some degree of certainty, whereas when mediation is not successful and we continue to trial, a jury gets to decide the amount of the settlement. A considerable percentage of our $75 million in recovered funds for our clients is the result of trial decisions, indicating that we are fully prepared to meet healthcare providers in a courtroom if the instance cannot be resolved at mediation. If you or a family member is potentially dealing with personal care home negligence, don’t go through this difficult situation alone. Contact Davis Adams today.
