How We Can Help
Nursing home residents have unique, demanding health care needs. Elderly Americans are intensely vulnerable to illness and injury, and what would be a relatively minor condition for a younger person can pose a serious risk to an older one.
This is a large part of the reason many Americans opt for a nursing home environment for their elderly loved ones. In theory, a nursing home has resources that are unavailable to normal Americans. Nursing homes are obligated to look after the medical needs of their residents.
When they fail to do so, tragedy can result. Nursing homes that fail to provide their residents with the necessary nutrition or water, that fail to provide the necessary medical care, that simply fail to properly care for their residents can be held liable for the deaths of those in their care.
Pursuing a wrongful death case in the aftermath of nursing home neglect is difficult, and we understand that the last thing on your mind when reeling from the loss of a loved one is finding a lawyer. But it's important to talk to our nursing home neglect attorney as soon as possible.
