Glen Ellyn IL Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Lawyers

Injury Lawyers Representing Victims of Nursing Home Accidents in DuPage County

Glen Ellyn is a village in DuPage County, IL with a population of about 28,000. Around 13% of Glen Ellyn's population is 65 years of age or older, and a growing number of seniors in the area require long-term care. Unfortunately, nursing homes, assisted living centers, and rehab facilities have not done nearly enough to address the needs of their elderly residents. As a result, nursing home abuse and neglect cases are on the rise.

The nursing home team at Schwartz Injury Law has extensive experience and a strong track record of success representing victims of neglect and elder abuse in Glen Ellyn and communities throughout Illinois. Our attorneys have in-depth knowledge of this area of the law, and what it takes to prevail in even the most complex cases against well-funded adversaries.
