A Guide for Hiring a Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer in Cincinnati

When a loved one is harmed in a Cincinnati nursing home, it can be overwhelming to know where to turn.

You may be asking yourself:

• Was this an accident or neglect?

• Do I have a legal case?

• How do I choose the right nursing home abuse attorney?

At Nancy Iler Law Firm, we help Cincinnati families uncover the truth, understand their legal options, and hold negligent facilities accountable. With my background as a registered nurse and over 30 years as a nursing home abuse lawyer, I combine medical insight with legal experience to fight for justice on behalf of Ohio families.

Here’s what you can expect when you work with me.

Step 1: Free, No-Pressure Consultation

The process begins with a free phone consultation. During this call:

• I’ll listen to your story and ask key questions to understand what happened

• I’ll help you determine whether the harm may have been the result of neglect or abuse under Ohio law

• You’ll receive honest feedback about your options — no pressure and no obligation

Whether you’re in Cincinnati, Hamilton County, or anywhere in Ohio, I make sure you leave the call with clarity about next steps.

Step 2: Gathering Evidence & Building Your Case

If we move forward, my team and I will begin gathering evidence to evaluate your claim. This may include:

• Nursing home incident reports and staffing records

• Medical records, care plans, and medication logs

• Photos or videos of injuries

• Witness statements from staff, residents, or family members

• Inspection and citation reports from the Ohio Department of Health

I can also assist you with filing a formal complaint to the state — a powerful tool for ensuring your concerns are investigated.

Step 3: Medical & Legal Review

My nursing background gives me a unique ability to analyze what happened and whether proper standards of care were followed. I work with medical experts to:

• Review the care your loved one received

• Identify where protocols were broken

• Show how neglect or abuse directly caused the injury

I handle a wide range of nursing home neglect cases in Cincinnati, including:

• Falls, fractures, and head injuries

• Choking and strangulation

• Bedsores (pressure ulcers)

• Medication and prescription errors

• Resident wandering or elopement

• Wrongful death

Step 4: Seeking Justice & Compensation

Many nursing home abuse cases are resolved through negotiation and settlement — but I prepare every case as if it will go to trial. This approach maximizes your chances of receiving fair compensation for:

• Medical expenses and hospital bills

• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress

• Relocation to a safer facility

• Wrongful death damages (if applicable)

Throughout the process, you’ll stay informed. I handle the legal work so you can focus on what matters most — your family’s healing and well-being.
