Garcia & Coman - Los Angeles, CA

National Leaders in Elder Abuse Litigation

Protecting Our Most Vulnerable Citizens

Garcia & Coman, formerly known as the Garcia Law Firm, stands as a formidable force in the fight against nursing home abuse and neglect. Established in 1993, the firm has built a national reputation for its aggressive pursuit of justice on behalf of the elderly. Founders Stephen M. Garcia and Matthew M. Coman have dedicated their careers to exposing the systemic failures in the long-term care industry. They understand that when a family places a loved one in a nursing home, they are entrusting that facility with a life. When that trust is broken through neglect or abuse, Garcia & Coman steps in to demand accountability. With over $3 billion recovered in verdicts and settlements, the firm's track record speaks for itself. They do not just settle cases; they are trial lawyers who are prepared to take major corporations to court to ensure that seniors are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.

Comprehensive Nursing Home Litigation

The firm handles a wide array of cases involving mistreatment in skilled nursing facilities, assisted living centers, and residential care homes. Their areas of expertise include:

• Bedsores (Decubitus Ulcers): Holding facilities accountable for severe skin wounds caused by neglect and lack of movement.
• Falls and Drops: Investigating incidents where residents suffer broken hips or head injuries due to inadequate supervision or transfer protocols.
• Physical and Sexual Abuse: representing victims of assault by staff members or other residents.
• Wrongful Death: Seeking justice for families who have lost a loved one due to dehydration, malnutrition, or untreated infections like sepsis.

Garcia & Coman is also known for handling complex Class Action lawsuits against large nursing home chains, addressing widespread issues such as understaffing and patient dumping.

Unwavering Commitment to Clients

The attorneys at Garcia & Coman operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning clients pay no legal fees unless the firm wins. This ensures that every senior, regardless of their financial situation, has access to top-tier legal representation. The firm's approach is holistic; they work closely with medical experts to understand the full scope of the abuse and its impact on the victim's quality of life. With offices across the country and a base in Los Angeles, Garcia & Coman continues to be a leading voice for elder rights, working tirelessly to improve the standards of care for all seniors.
