Welcome to the home of the Hughey Law Firm's Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect website. It is an unfortunate reality that our elder loved ones are being abused, mistreated and neglected every day in South Carolina. We all age, as this is an inevitable part of life and it is very important we hold nursing home facilities accountable. Our elderly are not here for health care corporations to make money. In fact, it should be the opposite. Our health care and nursing home facilities should be in place to take care of the elderly making their lives as comfortable as possible before they move on. The South Carolina nursing home attorneys at Hughey Law Firm know, respect and appreciate this very thing.

These cases entail complex procedures, and our team of attorneys has the experience you need in order to fight for what is right. Many of our South Carolina nursing home cases come from other law firms, as attorney Nathan Hughey has been down this road many times before. Know that when you work with the Hughey Law Firm, you will receive nursing home attorneys in South Carolina that care and have a proven track record in nursing home abuse and neglect cases.
