Residents Deserve to Be Treated With Respect
We trust doctors, nurses and other medical professionals at nursing homes and long-term care facilities to provide adequate care for our loved ones. When a facility or staff member does not meet the acceptable standard of care, nursing home residents are at risk for serious injury or wrongful death.

Our attorneys know how to investigate nursing home neglect and how to fight the insurance companies on your behalf.

Neglect and Abuse
Nursing home neglect is the failure to provide basic services at an acceptable standard of care. Nursing home abuse is an intentional violation of residents' rights such as their personal safety, physical and mental well-being, and finances. Both abuse and neglect, however, can result in catastrophic injury or wrongful death.
Neglect may cause malnutrition and dehydration, bedsores, medication errors, wandering off and elopement, and falls. Abuse may be physical, mental and emotional, and can include sexual assault, financial exploitation, threats and verbal abuse. In some cases, restraint injuries are the result of abuse.
Additional problems resulting from negligence at nursing homes can include:
