Florida Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer
When They Betray Your Trust, We Hold Them Accountable.
Placing a loved one in a nursing home is a deeply personal decision—rooted in trust, care, and the belief that they’ll be safe. Unfortunately, far too many facilities in Florida violate that trust.

When these signs appear, families deserve answers—and swift action.
At the Law Offices of Comras & Comras, we help families fight back against nursing home abuse and neglect. We understand the devastating impact elder mistreatment can have—not just physically, but emotionally and financially. Led by experienced trial attorney David A. Comras, we move quickly to uncover the truth, demand accountability, and pursue the full compensation your family deserves.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nursing Home Abuse Cases
1. What qualifies as nursing home abuse or neglect?
Nursing home abuse can be physical, emotional, sexual, financial, or even medical. Neglect may involve failing to provide basic needs—like food, hygiene, medical care, or supervision. Both abuse and neglect can lead to serious injuries or death, and often go unnoticed without vigilant family members advocating for the resident.
At Comras & Comras, we know what to look for and how to prove it. From medical records to facility inspection reports and staff interviews, we uncover the truth and fight hard for justice.
2. Who can be held responsible in a nursing home abuse case?
Liability may extend beyond just the individual staff member involved. The facility itself may be responsible for poor hiring practices, inadequate training, understaffing, or failure to supervise. In some cases, third-party contractors (such as medical providers or security staff) may also share blame.
We perform a thorough investigation to identify every responsible party—and hold each one accountable under Florida law. These are not minor claims; we pursue them with the full weight of our litigation experience.
3. How do I know if my loved one is safe in their nursing home now?
If abuse or neglect has occurred, your loved one may not be safe—even if the incident seems isolated. Many facilities deny or minimize complaints rather than resolve the underlying problems. That’s why we recommend independent evaluation, both medically and legally.
When you bring your case to Comras & Comras, we help assess the current risk and guide you through your options, including removal from the facility and potential emergency legal actions.
4. Will my family have to testify in court?
Not necessarily. Many nursing home abuse cases are resolved through settlements before reaching trial. However, if the facility refuses to take responsibility, we are fully prepared to take the case to court. Whether or not your loved one will need to testify depends on their condition and role in the case.
We protect our clients' dignity throughout the process. If your family member is vulnerable or unable to participate, we’ll ensure their voice is still heard—through medical documentation, expert analysis, and strategic legal advocacy.
