There are lots of law firms that are good at many things, but we strive to be great at one thing: holding nursing homes and assisted living facilities accountable to the public, their patients, and the families of patients when they neglect or abuse a resident. Good is not enough. Greatness is the standard we hold ourselves to.
Unlike personal injury lawyers and law firms who handle cases ranging from dog bites, slip and falls, car accidents, medical malpractice, product liability, police brutality, and many others, our practice is dedicated exclusively to being the very best at one thing. We have handled over 1,000 nursing home abuse and neglect cases covering every scenario imaginable against nearly every nursing home corporation.
We liken this to the medical field and the way we view our health. If you have a serious medical condition and require a surgical procedure, most people would prefer to have a doctor who devotes their entire practice to researching, diagnosing, and treating that exact condition. Why? Because we know that if our life or a loved one's life depends on it, we don't want to take a chance on a doctor getting it right. We need a doctor who's done that procedure over and over again and gets it right every time.
Because we have dedicated our legal practice, and frankly our lives, to nursing home abuse and neglect, we have been able to consistently achieve the highest settlements and verdicts in history, including the highest recorded verdict in several counties and the single largest verdict against a nursing home in Ohio history–a $26 million verdict in Trumbull County, Ohio.
It is easy to settle for a good law firm. But why have good when you can have great?

Dehydration is one of the most overlooked forms of neglect in nursing homes, yet it can lead to serious and even fatal health complications. Elderly residents depend on caregivers to monitor their hydration levels, but poor staffing, inadequate supervision, and neglectful care often result in severe dehydration cases.
Falls are one of the leading causes of injury and death in nursing homes. Many falls are entirely preventable, but due to staff negligence, improper safety measures, and lack of supervision, residents suffer avoidable injuries every day.
Bedsores, also known as pressure ulcers or pressure sores, are one of the most distressing signs of neglect in nursing homes. These painful wounds develop when residents are left immobile for extended periods, often due to staff negligence or inadequate care.
Medication errors in nursing homes are a significant yet preventable problem that jeopardizes the health and well-being of vulnerable residents. Mistakes in prescribing, administering, or monitoring medications can lead to severe complications, prolonged illnesses, or even fatalities. At Michael Hill Trial Law, we are committed to holding nursing homes accountable for medication errors that result from negligence, ensuring that residents receive the care and safety they deserve.
