Court of Appeals found that a nursing
home's arbitration agreement violated
the Florida Residents' Rights statute.
This Court's decision affirmed a resident's

the resident's ability to bring a lawsuit
against wrongdoers, even when a signed
arbitration agreement exists. Nursing home neglect attorneys from Wilkes
