Louisville, Kentucky Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys Fighting for Justice

No family expects abuse or neglect when they choose a nursing home or assisted living facility. Sadly, the reality is that too many seniors and family members in Louisville and across Jefferson County, Kentucky have learned the cold, harsh reality of the long-term care industry. Seniors and the disabled are among our most vulnerable citizens. When their voices go unheard, the consequences can be devastating.

Michael Hill Trial Law is the most prominent and nationally respected nursing home abuse and neglect law firm in America, consistently achieving record-setting results. From strolls through Cherokee Park and family outings along the Louisville Waterfront to the historic beauty of Old Louisville and the close-knit neighborhoods of the Highlands and NuLu, this city is built on pride, resilience, and community care. At our firm, those same values guide everything we do. If your loved one has been harmed in a care facility, you deserve answers—and we’re here to help you find them.
