Of CounselCases We Handle
Fall Causing Fracture
When older people break a bone, it has more severe consequences than when a younger person does. That is why nursing home falls that cause fractures should be taken seriously, and the lapse in safety that allowed the fall to occur must be examined.
Fall Causing Brain Injury or Death
If your loved one sustained a brain injury or died as a result of a fall in a nursing home, you probably have innumerable questions and concerns about how this happened and what you can do about it. Our experienced nursing home abuse attorneys can help you understand your legal options and how you can hold the home accountable for the pain your family has endured.
Bed Sores
Bed sores (also called pressure ulcers) are caused by staying in bed in a single position for an extended period of time. When this happens in a nursing home, it is an inexcusable form of neglect. Our lawyers can help you hold the nursing home accountable for causing such an easily preventable injury to your loved one.
Stage 4 Pressure Ulcer
When a bed sore becomes so severe that a person's tendons, muscles, or bones are exposed, it has stage 4. These are life-threatening injuries that need to be treated immediately. Additionally, the conditions that allowed such an injury to arise must be examined and punished.
Aspiration / Aspiration Pneumonia Causing Death
When food or liquids are breathed into the lungs instead of being swallowed, it can cause an infection called aspiration pneumonia. Nursing homes are obligated to prevent such infections and can be found liable should someone be injured or die from aspiration pneumonia.
Rape / Sexual Assault
When a nursing home resident is sexually assaulted, it can have a severe impact on their physical and mental health. Rape and sexual assault at the hands of another resident or a nursing home employee can never be allowed to happen. When it does, our law firm can help.
Choking Causing Death or Brain Injury
Choking injuries can cause serious brain damage, or fatality. When a nursing home resident appears to be choking, it is the staff's duty to jump into action and save them from harm. Failing to notice or take action in due time can be considered a form of nursing home neglect.
Elopement Causing Death or Serious Physical Injury
Among a nursing home's many obligations is ensuring that the residents do not wander off the premises when they are not supposed to. When nursing home conditions allow a resident to slip out of the facility undetected, that is a form of neglect that can result in a person going missing or being seriously hurt.
Strangulation / Suffocation
If your loved one was strangled or suffocated in a nursing home, it could be indicative of larger issues at the facility. Such accidents often occur as a result of nursing home neglect. When a nursing home allows a resident to suffocate or be strangled, we help hold them accountable.
Untreated Infection Causing Sepsis and Death
The minimum expectation for a nursing home is to provide the care that our loved ones need. Failure to notice and treat infections to the point that they cause sepsis or death shows an astonishing amount of neglect that must not be tolerated. If this happened to your loved one, contact us.
Physical Abuse
The reality is that there are other ways nursing home staff can use intentional, inappropriate force on a resident. This may include: pushing and shoving, inappropriate use of restraints, unnecessary confinement, etc.
"I want to thank the MVM law firm for working hard to win my case! They were so friendly and understanding. They answered all my questions and never seemed bothered, I could call or email about an update, and they respond in a timely manner. They were really wonderful people to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone."
