Nursing Home

Bonezzi Switzer Murphy Polito & Hupp Co. L.P.A. aggressively defends long term care cases by conducting early record review and interviews of key personnel. We select nationally recognized experts to defend the case and thoroughly research the medical literature to support our medical defenses. The key to successfully defending long term care cases is witness preparation prior to deposition. Quite simply, cases are won and lost at discovery depositions.

Nursing home, long term care and home health care litigation and risk management present as one of the fastest  growing practice areas in Ohio.   As our population ages nursing home negligence cases increase exponentially as more older Americans are placed in nursing homes and extended care facilities every day.  More healthcare facilities and nursing homes open every year to serve this segment of our population.  As a consequence, lawyers with extensive experience in nursing home/long term care litigation are uniquely suited for retention in circumstances where facilities and organizations require not just a breadth of litigation experience but experience in managing investigations of events, presuit requests for records and managing access to staff by attorneys and those agencies acting on behalf of the State of Ohio.

Bonezzi Switzer Murphy Polito & Hupp has developed and acquired a team of experienced professionals who specialize in this specific area of civil litigation and in understanding the needs of a client where litigation exposure must be managed even prior to the assertion of a claim.  Our extensive background in handling long-term care cases and our dedication to remaining on the cutting-edge of developing issues has proven very beneficial in providing effective defense strategies to our clients and in navigating through the morass of issues which confront our clients even before litigation is formally commenced.  Our attorneys have dedicated their careers to counseling, representing and defending healthcare professionals.
