Nursing Home Litigation

Causes of action against nursing homes are a combination of statutory violations and healing arts malpractice.  In order to successfully defend these lawsuits, the attorneys must not only know the law, they must also know the medicine.  Cray Huber’s attorneys are among the best in both fields.  The Illinois Nursing Home Care Act is replete with pitfalls that have serious consequences for the unwary.  Cray Huber’s nursing home litigation practice includes attorneys whose areas of practice include defending skilled and intermediate care facilities in Illinois against lawsuits brought under the Act.  Our attorneys have broad experience counseling nursing home clients, assisted living facilities, senior living facilities, home health care providers, and physical therapists on compliance with the state and federal regulations, as well as anti-kickback legislation and fraud and abuse statutes.  We understand the interplay between regulatory issues and litigation and strive to protect our clients’ interests in both areas.
