Frequently, one of the required documents contains an arbitration clause that bars future lawsuits alleging neglect or poor care by the facility. Don't worry. The Birmingham nursing home abuse lawyers at Drake Injury Lawyers has years of experience in getting around these agreements, particularly when the resident suffers from dementia or some other mental disorder that prevents them from understanding the document.
