Is your teenager driving safe?: Every year, according to Allstate Insurance close to 6,000 teenagers are killed in car crashes and nearly 300,000 are injured. Despite safer cars, better roads and countless teen driving programs, the numbers have remained constant for more than a decade.

Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Nursing Home Abuse: Legal Remedies TAKING ACTION WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG Unfortunately, the abuse and neglect of the elderly in nursing homes and assisted living facilities frequently goes completely undetected and unreported. There are not enough inspectors in Virginia to detect abuse and prevent all abuse and neglect. Furthermore, nursing home administrators frequently fail to report abuse and neglect to the inspectors. This is where your vigilance and record keeping make a difference. Whether the problems are minor and easily handled within the facility or major and needing an attorney experienced in litigating nursing home abuse and neglect, your well-kept records will greatly affect the efficacy of any action you choose to take. There are many problems that can be handled at the facility level: diet, cleanliness of the room and bed, resident’s hygiene, theft, etc. Take care of these kinds of problems with tact as sometimes staff will be unaware of a problem until it is brought to their attention. Failing any change at the staff level, speaking with the director of the proper department is usually enough to take care of the problem. If you suspect abuse or neglect, take a couple breaths and consult Carolyn Lavecchia and her experienced nursing home abuse team as soon as you can as these are extremely complex types of cases. After discussing the situation with Carolyn and her team, you will have a better sense of how to proceed. This includes reporting your suspicions to the State Ombudsman, lodging a complaint with the Virginia Department of Health and/or Department of Social Services, or filing a lawsuit. After speaking with you if we believe the facts warrant further investigation and you choose to hire us we will thoroughly investigate the case. In most cases we will request the pertinent nursing home and hospital records and issue a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the state. Under FOIA, the state is required to provide us with their inspection reports and findings within five days. These reports may show a pattern of abuse and neglect of the elderly. To learn more about the facility, we often check the court records to see if there are pending or prior lawsuits against the nursing home. After collecting the pertinent documents we will review them to assess whether to hire an expert(s). Most cases require a nurse expert and a physician with a nursing home practice. After an expert review we will discuss filing a lawsuit with you. We cannot place enough stress on the complexity of Nursing Home Abuse and Nursing Home Neglect litigation. Please give Carolyn or Josh a call (804) 288-1661 or e-mail them about your situation at cl@wllc.com.

Medical Malpractice

Any time you go to the doctor or you spend time in the hospital, you put your faith in the nurses, doctors, and other hospital staff with the expectation that they will take good care of you. Unfortunately, this does not always happen, and medical mistakes result in serious injuries and sometimes death. Sadly, we have seen many cases where our clients were injured by the negligence of doctors, nurses, and hospitals. You don’t deserve to suffer without compensation for the rest of your life because of a medical mistake.

Florida City and State Pension Disability Claims

The Florida Retirement System Pension (FRS) bases its definition of “disability” on the opinion of an FRS administrator. While this would seem to be a reasonable condition for obtaining disability benefits, it could also prove disastrous for those that are unfamiliar with the process of reporting and validating their injuries. The attorneys at Cavey and Barrett have years of experience in removing doubt from claims of disability, and can help injured state workers get the compensation that they are entitled to and deserve. Some cities have their own disability plans. They use examinations by their carefully chosen physicians to counter what their own worker’s compensation doctors have said about your ability to work. At Cavey and Barrett we will assist you with the paperwork and if necessary, secure individualized reports that address your functional limitations and disabilities. We may also arrange for additional medical examinations or vocational evaluations. If a hearing is necessary, we will prepare your case and represent you at that hearing.

Criminal Law

Some people think during a criminal case that if they cooperate with police by signing papers or answering questions, they will be set free. Wrong! It is too late for that after an arrest has been made. In this instance, the job of any law enforcement officer is to arrest a suspect and collect evidence that will get the suspect (YOU!) convicted of the crime in question. This includes getting the suspect to incriminate themselves, sign a statement of guilt, or have a recorded statement by the suspect stating he or she is guilty.
