Michael Brevda of Senior Justice Law Firm narrowly focuses on nursing home abuse and neglect cases with offices throughout Florida, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington DC, recognized nationally for his work in this sub-specialty. The firm handles cases involving bedsores, broken bones, patient falls, and wrongful death, emphasizing that abuse involves withholding care, supervision, or services needed by vulnerable adults. Brevda recommends using Medicare.gov’s Care Compare tool to rank facilities, visiting beyond shiny lobbies to see where residents actually live, speaking with staff, and choosing facilities where families feel most comfortable. The practice operates on the mission to economically disincentivize nursing home abuse, noting overwhelmingly these are for-profit entities run by MBAs focused on profits rather than doctors focused on care. Due to lenient government oversight, facilities usually go unpunished for neglect-related injuries unless families pursue claims.
