About The Author

William Eadie

I am a trial lawyer who helps families hurt by caregiver carelessness–such as nursing homes and hospitals–and hold the wrongdoers accountable. Some people–even some trial lawyers–think people in nursing homes don’t matter, and their lives are not worth much. I know better. When a nursing home breaks its promise to provide good care to someone’s mother, father, sister, or brother, and refuses to take responsibility, I’m proud to help the family hold them accountable.

The Nursing Home Systems Case, By The Numbers

January 15, 2018 Nursing Home Abuse and Injury Lawsuit Articles

Understaffing is the primary reason for nursing home abuse and neglect.

Nursing homes can be scary places. We place our loved ones in nursing homes everyday, and 40% of us will move into a nursing home at some point in our life. But day after day we here that another person has died in a nursing home because of abuse and neglect. With so many injuries, you’d expect that nursing home lawsuits would be easy business, but they’re not. Many lawyers struggle tremendously trying to prove their nursing home cases and end up settling on the cheap. The only ones who win in this scenario are the nursing homes who essentially rake in huge profits and pay a measly fine here and there.

So how do you prove a nursing home case?

Nursing Home Cases are Always Systems Cases
You’ve probably heard, “Truck crash cases aren’t just big car crash cases.” Why? Because of federal regulations governing trucking companies, and the big corporate, unsympathetic, insured defendants.
Nursing home cases are the same: they’re not just medical negligence cases with older people.
Nursing home cases are against big, dangerous, greedy, and insured (or asset-rich) corporations who put their profits ahead of resident safety in a way that would make the most cut-throat, for-profit hospital chain blush.
So if you’re litigating the occasional nursing home case focusing on a particular nurse or aide, or even a particular facility, you’re missing all the fun–and the case value, and the chance to make a big impact–by focusing on the wrong people.
We’ve never had a nursing home case that wasn’t a “systems” case. If you have, you likely either missed it, or you had a mediocre case.

This is just a small portion of the recent article by nursing home abuse lawyers Michael Hill and William Eadie published by the Ohio Association for Justice (OAJ). You can continue reading and download the entire article here.

Our No Fear Guarantee

You’ve probably seen the lawyer ads: “No Fee Guarantee!” “No Fees if We Don’t Win!”

Guess what? That’s true for just about any plaintiff’s lawyer. It’s what a “contingency fee” means. It doesn’t mean they’ll work hard. Or get a good result for you. It doesn’t mean much at all.

What we promise you is a NO FEAR guarantee.

What does that mean? For 99% of our clients, a medical injury caused by negligence is new. The medical malpractice lawsuit process is new. Depositions, discovery, trial . . . everything is new.

New can be scary. Especially when it involves having to testify under oath.

We’ve developed systems that let you address and move past the fear. Through education and information about the process. Role-playing and other preparation techniques. We empower you to be fearless. Because this process is hard enough.

My brother Dan was the point person who mostly dealt with Michael Hill. I can say that my impression has been that Michael gave great advice and made everything as easy as possible throughout this difficult and personal case. He was responsive and showed genuine concern and passion about the circumstances of our case.

You should call Eadie Hill Trial Lawyers because they are professional yet compassionate. Our family was kept up to date throughout the process. Any questions were explained and always got email and phone call responses back very quickly. We had someone on our side seeking justice for our family. Michael, I cannot thank you enough for what you were able to do for my family. I never doubted staying with you as a client when you left the larger law firm.

Michael spent hours getting to know all the details of my aunt's life and going through pictures with us. It was clear that Michael was an honest and good person who genuinely cared about my family. These are just the things we saw him do. I know that he was working around the clock on things we didn't see.

My sister's and I tragically lost our mother to nursing home abuse and neglect. Michael and his team stepped in and did a full investigation and exposed the people who were responsible and got us the justice we deserved. Although nothing could ever replace our mom, Michael was a very kind and compassionate caring person and got us through this tragic time, and for that we say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I know our mom is resting in peace.
