Liability Considerations in Sacramento
Nursing Home Abuse in Sacramento County
Sacramento's position as the state capital means that CDPH nursing home inspection records and facility licensing data are more readily accessible than in most California jurisdictions. Attorneys filing EADACPA claims in Sacramento County benefit from easy access to CDPH inspection reports, facility ownership data, and regulatory correspondence. Sacramento County Superior Court has an active complex civil litigation department, and cases involving institutional chains with operations statewide are sometimes strategically filed in Sacramento to access more complete regulatory records. The Greater Sacramento region's retirement community has grown substantially as Bay Area retirees relocate to lower-cost Northern California areas.

Los Angeles, CA
James Nakamura has dedicated his 17-year career to holding California nursing homes and assisted living facilities accountable under the Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act (EADACPA), one of the nation's strongest elder protection statutes. His undergraduate background in gerontology gives him deep substantive knowledge of the aging process, common medical conditions in elderly patients, and the regulatory environment governing long-term care. James has successfully challenged arbitration clauses in nursing home admission contracts on multiple occasions, preserving his clients' right to jury trial in cases involving significant damages. He has recovered more than $95 million for clients across California, with particular expertise in cases involving large corporate nursing home chains with histories of repeat CMS deficiency citations. He is a member of the California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform (CANHR) advisory panel.
