Get Medical Care for Your Loved One’s Injuries Right Away
As soon as you become aware of their injuries, seek immediate medical care for your elderly loved one. Get medical attention even if unexplained injuries appear to be healing. Immediate medical care is important for these three reasons:

- Medical evidence is an important part of building your claim for financial compensation
- Florida Statute §400.0236 limits the time you have to file a claim to two years from the date the injuries occur
The lawyer who represents your claim against the nursing home will use medical records and bills to assign a monetary value to your claim. When you are ready to review your claim and your potential for financial compensation, contact the Jacksonville personal injury lawyer at the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine by calling us.
