No Fees Unless We Win
When we entrust a nursing home to care for our elderly family members, we expect the staff to uphold a certain standard of care. We certainly do not expect the facility to perpetuate abuse against our loved ones—but nursing home abuse and neglect is unfortunately common.
If you believe your loved one is suffering abuse at an Auburn nursing home, you and your family need an attorney on your side. The nursing home abuse and neglect attorney at Colburn Law can help you hold the facility accountable and seek just compensation for your loved one.
Nursing home abuse and neglect is unfortunately common in the United States. According to the National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA), the exact number of nursing home abuse victims is unknown—but studies suggest that as many as 10 percent of American seniors suffer from elder abuse.
Greg Colburn’s path to personal injury law is rooted in personal experience. After a devastating fall left him in a wheelchair for two years, he took on insurance companies and legal obstacles to win his own case. That journey inspired him to fight for others facing similar challenges. Today, Greg is dedicated to helping injury victims hold negligent parties accountable and secure the justice they deserve.

Nursing home abuse can result in physical injuries, psychological trauma, and financial loss. Under Washington law, victims of nursing home abuse can hold facilities and individual staff members accountable for these losses in a personal injury lawsuit.
However, the paperwork you or your loved one signed may prevent you from filing a lawsuit against the facility. Some nursing homes have mandatory arbitration clauses that state you must enter arbitration, an alternative conflict resolution process, to settle matters such as abuse complaints.
If the facility requires arbitration, bring the paperwork to an attorney at Colburn Law. Your attorney will examine the contract and determine whether or not you have grounds for a lawsuit. Whether you file a lawsuit, enter arbitration, or engage in out-of-court negotiations, your attorney can represent and advocate for your loved one’s best interests.
No one deserves to suffer abuse in a nursing home. If you suspect your loved one is a victim of abuse, get him or her to safety and seek medical attention as soon as possible. After seeking help, contact the nursing home abuse and neglect attorney at Colburn Law.
