Working with Attorneys on Nursing Home Litigation
Our Areas of Practice
Nursing Home Abuse
Nursing home residents are particularly vulnerable to abuse. Let us help you determine if abuse has taken place.
Bed Sores/Pressure Wounds
Determine the cause of bedsores or pressure wounds that have developed on nursing home residents. If these wounds are left untreated can cause infection, hospitalization, and even death.
Falls
Falls can be caused by any number of things – from medications to malnutrition. We can help to determine if an effective fall prevention program was followed.
Nursing Home Neglect Cases
According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, roughly 95% of nursing home residents have been neglected or have witnessed neglect. We can review the records to determine if a lack of medical care happened in a nursing home.
Long-Term Care Litigation
Long-term care facilities must abide by laws particular to their industry. Did the facility sufficiently staffed for residents’ care?
Medication Errors
Is there evidence of medication errors in your case? We can help you determine if the medication and dosages were correctly provided.
