Practice Areas Description

- Nursing Home Neglect

You or your loved one deserves the highest level of care and quality of life from the nursing facility. Seniors should be revered, not treated as second-class citizens. Unfortunately, several factors including poor staffing, lax supervision and carelessness can all lead to malnutrition, dehydration and other types of neglect.

- Mental and Emotional Abuse

While mental and emotional abuse can be difficult to detect, the consequences are no less severe. Our lawyers can determine and prove emotional and mental abuse involving repeated or abusive: verbal statements, failure to replace soiled linens, disrespect and uncaring treatment.

- Transportation and Restraint Injuries

Group homes, assisted living centers and nursing homes provide vital services to their residents. They provide a place to live, daily supervision and, for some, medical care. On occasion, residents may be transported to other locations. Our lawyers understand the emotional, physical and financial hardships associated with passenger van accident injuries and improper use of restraints.

- Dangerous Roommates

Often, facilities ignore residents' special needs when they look to maximize space. When one roommate's psychological or medical needs eclipse those of the other, serious consequences could occur. If your loved one was improperly matched up with a roommate, or the facility failed to remedy the situation after they were notified, we can protect your loved one's rights.

When safety regulations or procedures are ignored or not properly maintained, your loved one could suffer traumatic injuries, or even death.

Also known as pressure sores or decubitus ulcers, they generally occur to people who are not ambulatory. There are four stages to bedsores: the skin turns reddish; and feels spongy and/or warm; the area opens and looks like a blister or cut; the wound is below the tissue beneath the skin; similar look to a crater and significant damage to the skin, muscle and bones is apparent.

- Malnutrition and Dehydration

Our attorneys understand the important role your loved one's diet plays in their day-to-day care. Proper nutrition and appropriate fluids are the building blocks of healthy living. Without the right diet, your loved one could suffer serious direct and indirect consequences. if personnel failed to recognize, monitor or adjust your loved one's diet accordingly. We can pursue suitable resolutions to cases involving: diabetes side effects, organ failure, shock, coma, urinary tract infections, dementia and death.

According to the National Center on Elder Abuse Emotional, mental abuse inflicts pain, anguish and distress; whether by verbal or non-verbal acts.
