Nursing home negligence occurs when a resident is abused or neglected, resulting in nursing home deaths, falls resulting in broken bones, malnutrition, dehydration, decubitus ulcers, and residents wandering off the nursing home premises and injuring themselves. If a nursing home fails to administer care in a professional and compassionate manner, and you or your loved one has suffered from inadequate care, you may be entitled to compensation.

Because the nursing home industry has become a multi-billion dollar business comprised of major corporations, efficiency, and profitability have often become more important than administering proper care. For this reason, both federal and state governments have introduced legislation to protect residents of nursing homes.

It is important to thoroughly understand the warning signs of potential nursing home negligence. We have experience representing clients against nursing homes and other health care facilities in cases involving negligence, abuse, bedsores, broken bones, malnutrition, dehydration, infection, and wrongful death.
