Aggressive Representation in Nursing Home Injury Cases
We provide comprehensive counsel to individuals who have suffered injury because of the carelessness or negligence of nursing home owners or employees. We will take the time to carefully investigate the facts and circumstances of your case, traveling to the nursing facility if necessary to fully understand the cause of your accident. Our lawyers will prepare and file all necessary documentation, and will be your advocate in all hearings or proceedings, including depositions, settlement conferences and trial matters.
We handle personal injury claims involving all types of injuries sustained in a nursing home, including cases involving:
- Falls from beds or other falls resulting from improper supervision, negligent use of restraints or bedrails, or other carelessness
- Bedsores, also known as decubitis ulcers
- Malnutrition or dehydration
- Medication errors, from incorrect dosage to administering the wrong drugs
- Failure to provide proper medical care
We also take cases involving injuries resulting from intentional physical abuse.
