What We Handle
01
When a nursing home, assisted living facility, or trusted caregiver fails an elderly or dependent adult, the consequences can be devastating and illegal. Mr. Partain represents victims and families when neglect leads to bedsores, malnutrition, falls, wrongful death, or physical and emotional harm. We pursue full accountability against facilities that prioritize profits over dignity.
02
Severe injuries that permanently alter a person's life demand serious, experienced advocacy. We represent individuals and families dealing with life-changing harm caused by the negligence of others, pursuing the compensation needed to cover long-term care, lost income, and the full impact of the injury.
03
When healthcare providers fall below the accepted standard of care and patients are harmed as a result, they must be held responsible. We handle complex medical malpractice cases with a thorough understanding of both the legal standards and the medical realities involved.
04
Defective products, from dangerous pharmaceuticals to faulty medical devices, can cause serious harm. Mr. Partain brings decades of experience representing plaintiffs injured by defective or unreasonably dangerous products, holding manufacturers and distributors accountable.
