BEWARE OF MANDATORY ARBITRATION LIMITS Many nursing homes and assisted living facilities use mandatory arbitration provisions which waive your right to file a claim in Court. These provisions are often buried in lengthy admission agreements that you may have missed. Under Virginia law you only have 60 days (from the date of the injury or from qualification as administrator) to withdraw from these forced arbitrations. Va. Code section 8.01-581.12. Contact our office today to opt you out of such an agreement.

Testimonials

Attorney Downey assisted me with an insurance settlement case after the death of my husband that unfortunately involved a dispute among family members. He successfully obtained the maximum payout from the insurance companies and though he was my attorney, he treated all parties with the utmost care and respect. Jeff kept me informed of all correspondence related to my case. His knowledge of the law, his professionalism and most of all, his concern for all of us made a very difficult situation easier to endure. Thank you, Jeff – I am forever grateful for your services!

I was involved in a negligence case against a large nursing home involving my mother. I was completely satisfied with the outcome and felt that we probably got about the best results that were available for the minimum risk that I was prepared to bear. Mr. Downey explained everything clearly upfront. He was always available to answer my questions or give me advice. He also gave me all the coaching I needed and was always courteous and friendly. I always felt my case was in good hands. I would certainly retain Mr. Downey again if the need arose.
