At some time, most of us will have someone we love living in a nursing home or assisted living facility. Sometimes, these places are a wonderful and safe place for the elderly. Unfortunately, though, that's not always the case. One way to make sure these facilities are safe is to hold them accountable when they fail to take care of our elderly the way that they should.

My guest today is David Hoey, a personal injury trial lawyer who specializes in protecting our elders, making their lives safer and more pleasant.

Elder law is a growing field of law as life spans increase and medical care becomes more vital. Consequently, elder care is a booming industry. We need those in elder care business to keep their promises to our elderly people and protect them as if they were family.
