How do I File a Lawsuit Against an Illinois Nursing Home?
Has your loved one suffered serious injuries or died in an Illinois nursing home? Do you believe that his or her injuries may have been the result of nursing home negligence or abuse?
If so, you are probably looking for answers. Our nursing home lawyers understand that most families do not know where to turn when their loved one is injured or killed in a nursing home. We are here to help. For over twenty years, our attorneys have provided guidance to families throughout Illinois in all types of abuse and negligence cases against nursing homes, including those involving:
Time Limitations for Filing Suit
If you are interested in filing a nursing home lawsuit against a facility in Illinois, it is important to take action early to protect your rights. There are time limitations for filing cases against nursing homes, so we recommend contacting a nursing home attorney as soon as you suspect that abuse or negligence may have played a role in your loved ones injuries or death.
How to Choose a Law Firm
It is also important to do your research and choose a law firm that has successfully handled a number of nursing home matters for clients. No two cases are alike, but you should seek out a firm that has successfully handled cases similar to yours and also one that has handled cases against the facility where your loved one was injured. One way to do this is to compare firms’ records of success against Illinois nursing homes. This information can usually be found on a law firm’s website under “Successful Cases” or “Case Results.” You can find information on many of our firm’s most noteworthy nursing home verdicts and settlements by clicking here.
Nursing home lawsuits can take years to resolve and can be very costly to litigate. Therefore it is also important that you choose an established firm with the resources needed to handle even the most complex nursing home matters.

Testimonials
Not only were they so professional but also so caring and thoughtful. It was very difficult going over the facts in our mother's case but they were so compassionate and understanding and allowed us to be with them every step of the way. We were able to sit in on the depositions and we were really able to see how hard they worked on our behalf.
During that time, my family and I suffered the loss of my mother. Mr. Levin and Mr. Perconti were more than just our lawyers. Words can’t really express our gratitude.
They were most patient and responded timely to many questions throughout the entire process. All demonstrated professionalism and extensive knowledge of case and state laws. Their in-depth investigative work uncovered details which were unknown to us and yet sadly confirmed our suspicions. We would recommend the Levin and Perconti Law firm and especially this team.
During that time, my family and I suffered the loss of my mother. Mr. Levin and Mr. Peconti were more than just our lawyers. Words can’t really express our gratitude. My family and I will always be grateful for the compassion that they showed us. I want to thank you for what you did for my family, and for always being there for us.
Margaret’s representation, guidance, and professionalism gave us the sense that we could put our trust in Levin & Perconti and the final outcome proved that to be true.
