We Are Experienced Nursing Home Neglect Lawyers
When you move a loved one into assisted living or nursing home care, you want their declining years to be as comfortable and painless as possible. You expect that caregivers will ensure that they are well cared for, that their dietary and nutrition needs are met, and that they are not exposed to unnecessary risk of injury. Unfortunately, the nursing home industry is a for-profit industry, and more often than not, the bottom line takes priority over resident or patient care.

Our Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Practice
We know that nursing home residents are often unable to speak for themselves, so we tenaciously advocate for seniors who have been subjected to wrongful treatment. We handle all types of nursing home abuse and neglect, including cases involving:
- Bedsores caused by failure to regularly reposition bedridden patients
- Malnutrition or dehydration due to improper diet or poor monitoring of patients
- Slips and falls resulting from inadequate monitoring of residents
- Medication errors, including failure to administer proper medications, giving medications at improper times (anti-depressants in the morning, for example), or incorrect dosages
- Physical abuse of residents
We will thoroughly investigate the facts and circumstances surrounding any injury to your loved one. We’ll also be your advocate with nursing home personnel, insurance companies and others.

Common Legal Questions
The personal injury claims process begins when an injury victim submits a claim to an insurance company. Typically, they will file this claim against the insurer for the party who caused the accident. The insurance company will assign an adjuster to investigate the claim. If the adjuster determines the insurance company is liable for the accident, it will offer a settlement to cover the victim’s damages. However, these settlement offers don’t always fully account for the victim’s losses. If they determine the insurer is not liable, they will deny the claim.
A personal injury case is a legal action that arises from an accident or injury. Typically, these cases are based on negligence. An injury claim provides a way for the victim to recover compensation for losses they’ve experienced due to the incident. Personal injury cases typically arise from motor vehicle accidents, construction accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, and other injury-causing events.
Accident victims are entitled to damages for all losses sustained in an accident. These damages come in two broad forms. Economic damages compensate victims for direct financial losses related to the accident. These include medical expenses, lost income, diminished earning capacity, and more. Non-economic damages cover non-financial losses that don’t have a clear financial value. Examples include pain and suffering, emotional distress, disfigurement, reduced quality of life, and loss of consortium.
When searching for a personal injury lawyer, you should ask questions about their experience, services and results. You only have one chance to recover and finding the right lawyer can make a big difference in the final outcome of your case, the level of services that you receive, and the amount of compensation that you are awarded.
