We’re proud to announce that Dudensing Law has been recognized in the prestigious 2025 Chambers and Partners USA Guide, marking the firm’s debut in the rankings. Dudensing Law was ranked in Band 3 for Litigation: Mainly Plaintiffs – California. This significant milestone that reflects the firm’s continued dedication to achieving justice on behalf of elder abuse victims and their families.
In California elder abuse litigation, understaffing is recognized as far more than a simple management error.
Founder Ed Dudensing, author of the 2025 Rutter Group treatise “Elder Abuse Litigation,” provides critical insights into why chronic understaffing is often a calculated corporate decision to maximize profits at the expense of patient care.
California case law now recognizes that understaffing alone can support a jury finding of “recklessness.” This standard is critical because it shifts the focus from individual errors to corporate decisions that create unsafe conditions for vulnerable residents.

The nursing home that neglected your loved one probably doesn't own itself.
In his Rutter Group treatise on elder abuse litigation, founder Ed Dudensing writes extensively about the corporate structures behind California's long-term care facilities.
A typical defendant isn't a single entity; it's generally a licensed operator owned by a management company, owned by a holding company, owned by a private equity fund, with the actual assets held somewhere entirely separate.
