Assisted Living Facilities Lawsuit
Many families throughout Illinois turn to assisted living facilities when their loved ones can no longer live independently and require some assistance with activities of daily living. Families often choose assisted living facilities when they believe that their loved one does not yet need the round-the-clock medical care and supervision of a nursing home.
Section 295.2000 of The Illinois Department of Public Health Assisted Living Code dictates that an assisted living facility may not accept a resident or keep a resident in the facility if he or she needs a level or type of service that the facility cannot provide or is not licensed to provide. However, sometimes assisted living facilities keep residents even when their conditions worsen to the point where the facility cannot provide sufficient care and support.
When this occurs and a resident suffers serious injuries or death, families may be able to take legal action against the facility. Families may also turn to the legal system when a resident is injured or killed because a facility failed to provide sufficient care or supervision to residents.

Past Client Testimonials
Don’t take our word for it. Hear from some of the medical malpractice victims we’ve helped:
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.
