Get to know our attorneys

We’re not a volume personal injury firm trying to handle every type of personal injury case from dog bites to car accidents. Instead, our personal injury attorneys are laser-focused on holding nursing homes, assisted living facilities, group homes, intermediate care facilities, and adult day care centers accountable when they fail to meet their obligations and harm some of the most vulnerable members of our society.

This is where our experience matters. At FIDJ, understand the specific laws that protect Florida’s most vulnerable citizens, the evidence needed to prove abuse, neglect, or wrongful death, and how to work with medical, regulatory, and industry experts who understand both the injuries suffered in these facilities and the duties they owe. Simply put, we hold nursing homes, assisted living facilities, group homes, intermediate care facilities, and adult day care centers fully accountable when they fail to meet their duty of care. Learn more about our experience below.

Evidence
Doesn't Last Forever.

In nursing home, assisted living facility, group home, and adult day care center abuse, neglect, and wrongful death cases, time is critical, not just because of legal deadlines (known as Statutes of Limitation), but because vital evidence can disappear. Facilities may lose or erase surveillance footage, staff with critical first-hand knowledge may leave or become unreachable, and records can be “lost” or altered. Acting quickly helps preserve the proof needed to hold nursing homes, assisted living facilities, group home, and adult day care centers accountable.
