Introduction
The largest nursing home verdict in New Jersey history, $13.2 million, belongs to Davis & Brusca, LLC. That result was not an outlier. It reflects more than 25 years of focused practice in nursing home abuse and neglect litigation, combined with a serious personal injury practice handling trucking accidents and other catastrophic cases. From their base in Ewing Township with additional offices in Princeton, New Brunswick, Newark, and Neptune, the firm represents thousands of clients across New Jersey.
Practice Areas
Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Davis & Brusca’s core practice centers on holding nursing homes and assisted living facilities accountable for failures in care. The firm handles cases involving pressure injuries (bed sores), falls causing fractures or brain bleeds, serious infections, malnutrition, dehydration, unexplained bruises, and emotional abuse. These cases require attorneys who understand both the regulatory framework governing care facilities and the medical evidence needed to prove negligence.
The firm’s investigative approach involves thorough review of facility records, staffing patterns, and care protocols to uncover systemic failures that contribute to resident harm.
Trucking Accidents
The trucking industry operates under heavy federal regulation, and accidents involving commercial trucks demand attorneys with specialized knowledge. Davis & Brusca investigates driver qualifications, hours of service compliance, vehicle maintenance records, and carrier safety ratings to build cases against negligent trucking companies and their insurers.
Personal Injury
Beyond nursing home and trucking cases, the firm handles bicycle accidents, bus accidents, catastrophic accidents, construction accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, slip and fall incidents, train accidents, and wrongful death claims throughout New Jersey.
Brain Injury Litigation
The firm’s Trenton brain injury attorneys represent victims of traumatic brain injuries caused by vehicle accidents, falls, workplace incidents, medical malpractice, and sports injuries. They work with neurologists, rehabilitation specialists, and life care planners to document injuries and calculate long-term care costs that can reach millions over a lifetime.
