How much time do I have to file a nursing home abuse claim?

 

A: The statute of limitations on nursing home negligence and abuse claims is two years. This means that a claim or lawsuit must be filed with the court within two years of a negligent or abusive act. If a claim is not filed within this time period, you may lose the ability to bring a claim altogether. Occasionally, exceptions are allowed for individuals who are legally incapacitated. If you believe that you have a claim for nursing home negligence or abuse, you should contact an attorney immediately to discuss your rights and options.
