Nursing Home and Long-Term Care Litigation

The Wright Lindsey Jennings Nursing Home and Long-Term Care Litigation group provides for the defense of nursing home facilities; assisted living facilities; acute care and rehabilitation hospitals; home health providers; and the owners/investors of these medical providers involved in professional liability litigation, encompassing legal issues such as alternative dispute resolution (ADR) agreements, business litigation, class action and general liability.

We routinely defend these lawsuits involving a variety of claims: negligence, medical malpractice, negligence against administrator and DON, violations of the Protection of Long-Term Care Facility Residents Act, low staffing, breach of provider agreement, deceptive trade practices, punitive damages and many others.  Our team has more than 20 years of experience in defending these providers, including multiple jury trials to conclusion.

We apply our proficient skill set from file assignment through resolution, whether through motion practice, mediation, arbitration or trial. Our aggressive work up and discovery tactics, if necessary, help posture these cases for successful resolution. Our team also provides detailed and timely reporting, if requested, to give the client a full perspective of the case in order to make informed decisions.

Chambers USA, Best Lawyers in America and Mid-South Super Lawyers have recognized our attorneys for their excellence in medical malpractice defense. Our team is involved in various industry organizations including the Long-Term Care Risk Forum, Arkansas Health Care Association and Arkansas Assisted Living Association, Defense Research Institute, ALFA, Arkansas Association of Defense Counsel and many others.
