Our Nursing Home Abuse Legal Services

We represent clients in all types of nursing home abuse and neglect, whether physical, emotional, sexual, psychological, or financial. 

Our services include:

Bedsores and Pressure Ulcers:

Elder Care Injury recognizes the seriousness of bedsores and pressure ulcers, which often show neglect or inadequate care and can have devastating consequences for seniors. Our experienced attorneys investigate these injuries’ circumstances, gather evidence, and seek compensation for the victim's pain, suffering, medical expenses, and potential long-term consequences.

Preventable Falls:

Nursing home residents are susceptible to falls due to unsafe conditions, lack of supervision, or inadequate assistance from staff members. Where a fall injury results from inadequate care , supervision or inadequate staffing, Elder Care Injury advocates for victims of slip, trip, and fall accidents in nursing homes, holding negligent parties accountable and pursuing compensation for injuries sustained.

Malnutrition and Dehydration:

Malnutrition and dehydration can cause deadly health consequences for elders in senior care facilities. Our firm recognizes that malnutrition and dehydration can result from neglect, improper care, or insufficient staff training. We fight for victims’ rights, ensuring they receive the necessary compensation for medical treatment, rehabilitation, and emotional distress caused by these forms of abuse.

Poor Facility Inspections:

When a nursing home fails to meet regulatory standards and undergo proper inspections, residents may face an increased risk of abuse and neglect. Our team works diligently to investigate poor inspections, seeking justice for victims harmed due to a facility's failure to maintain appropriate standards of care.

Medication Mistakes:

Our firm has the knowledge and skills to handle cases involving medication errors, including incorrect dosages, improper administration, and failure to recognize illness and refer the patient for appropriate treatment. We fight to hold responsible parties accountable and secure compensation for victims facing adverse health effects due to these mistakes.

Patient Elopement:

Elder Care Injury understands families’ fear and distress when a loved one wanders in or away from a nursing home due to inadequate supervision or security measures. Our competent attorneys assist in seeking accountability for the facility's negligence and pursuing compensation for any harm caused during the elopement.

Physical and Sexual Assault:

Victims of physical assault or sexual assault in nursing homes deserve justice. Some assaults are caused by staff; others occur because facilities fail to control and supervise residents known to exhibit aggressive or inappropriate behavior towards other residents. In these cases, we fight vigorously on behalf of victims to hold the perpetrators accountable and seek damages for the emotional and physical trauma experienced.

Bed-to-Wheelchair Transfer Injuries:

We recognize the potential risks associated with bed-to-wheelchair transfers, including falls, fractures, or other injuries caused by negligent handling. Our team advocates for victims, seeking compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and pain and suffering resulting from such incidents.
