Defending Assisted Living Facilities

As the population of the United States ages at an increasing rate, assisted living facilities (ALFs) and their insurance carriers face increased exposure to negligence claims.

At O'Connor First, our lawyers defend assisted living facilities (ALF) and the professionals who work in them from allegations of negligence, malpractice, abuse and all other types of claims. We are well-versed in cases involving medical institutions and professionals; we have obtained many successful results for facilities and self-insured individuals throughout Upstate New York and Vermont.

Claims Against Assisted Living Facilities

These cases are often brought by lay people, typically family members of someone in a facility, who have little to no medical training. What they perceive to be an actionable harm is often the result of a misunderstanding. Unfortunately, even these baseless claims can take a toll on ALFs. Even if these claims are unwarranted, they can taint a facility’s reputation and continue to cause harm for years to come. As such, allegations of neglect, abuse or any kind of mistreatment should be taken exceptionally seriously.
