Randall R. Walton

For more than 20 years, Randy Walton has represented individuals and families throughout California who have been victimized by abuse or neglect in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. He is highly respected within the legal community for his work in this area of law, and he is known for the care and persistence he brings to every case.

Mr. Walton believes that seniors and dependent adults harmed by the negligence or recklessness of others deserve justice. Residents of care facilities often cannot speak for themselves, and their families are left to grapple with preventable injuries, avoidable suffering, and the loss of a loved one. Mr. Walton fights for those families, holding facilities and corporate operators accountable for failing to provide the care they promised. He has recovered millions of dollars for elder abuse victims and wrongful death heirs.

His practice focuses on cases involving neglect and abuse of nursing facility residents, including but not limited to, pressure injuries (bedsores), falls, medication errors, malnutrition and dehydration, unexplained injuries, physical abuse, and the failure to respond to medical emergencies. He handles claims against skilled nursing facilities, assisted living and residential care facilities for the elderly, and memory care communities.
