Nursing Home & Long-Term Care Liability Defense

Protecting the Reputation and Interests of Elder Care Providers

Morris Duffy Alonso Faley & Pitcoff has earned a strong reputation as a trusted defender of nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and long-term care providers facing allegations of negligence, malpractice, or abuse. We understand the sensitive nature of these claims and the reputational and financial risks they pose to care providers.

Experienced Defense Against Negligence & Malpractice Allegations

Claims involving elder care often arise from misunderstood symptoms, miscommunications, or adverse outcomes that are wrongly attributed to abuse or neglect. In these emotionally charged cases, families are understandably protective, and facilities may be subject to groundless or exaggerated accusations.

We defend clients in matters involving:

  • Pressure ulcers (bedsores)
  • Falls and mobility injuries
  • Dehydration or malnutrition
  • Medication errors or overmedication
  • Alleged physical or emotional abuse
  • Failure to monitor or respond to medical needs
  • Wrongful death claims

Who We Represent

Our attorneys defend a wide range of elder care providers and their insurers, including:

  • Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs)
  • Assisted living communities
  • Memory care units
  • Long-term rehabilitation centers
  • Home health care and hospice providers

Our Approach

MDAFP takes a strategic, fact-driven approach to protect both the legal interests and the public image of our clients. Our defense includes:

  • Early case evaluation and risk assessment
  • Detailed record review and fact gathering
  • Retention of qualified medical, nursing, and geriatric care experts
  • Aggressive motion practice and pretrial strategy
  • Sensitive but firm advocacy in mediation and trial

We recognize that public perception and media scrutiny can intensify the stakes. That’s why we’re committed to defending not only your case, but your reputation.

Dedicated to the Elder Care Industry

Our team has significant experience handling these claims across state courts, administrative tribunals, and alternative dispute forums, and we’re trusted by national and regional insurers to provide efficient, responsive, and trial-ready representation.
