Liability for nursing home facilities
With the growing number of elderly, nursing home care facilities are becoming more common, but often are more concerned with their profits than the care of the patients. Untrained staff or negligence in background checks can lead to abuse. Understaffing can lead to an inability to properly care for patients. Our attorneys will investigate any claims of abuse or neglect and aggressively pursue your case. In addition to your civil claim, we will report any neglect to local authorities to prevent the future abuse of patients.
Our attorneys are experienced in nursing home abuse cases involving:
- Serious injury or wrongful death: broken bones, lacerations
- Abuse: physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse
- Failure to supervise
- Neglect: bedsores, inadequate hygiene
- Improper medication
- Malnutrition: failure to follow dietary restrictions, dehydration
Recent examples of nursing home abuse negligence cases include:
- Recovered a confidential six-figure settlement against a nursing home in Pierce County that failed to administer necessary medication to a resident, which led to her death
- Recovered a confidential settlement against a nursing home that improperly treated a resident resulting in bed sores and poor nursing care
