Nursing home care is a subcategory of general medical care, but the nature of the care is unique because of the likelihood the patients will be either mentally or physically disabled. Abuse, neglect, negligence, broken bones, accidents and wrongful death in nursing homes are all too common, and our law firm is dedicated to helping the these victims.

In 1997, there were approximately 1.6 million elderly and disabled in 16,800 nursing homes across the United States. Sadly, estimates indicate that as many as 35,000 die prematurely every year due to negligence, abuse and neglect. Who is paying for this lack of care? You - the American taxpayer. In 1997, nursing homes received more than $27 billion dollars in government funds, mostly from Medicare and Medicaid programs. These facilities are being paid for care they are not providing, and many major insurance companies have stopped insuring nursing homes because of the growing number of malpractice suits brought against the elder care industry.

After years of providing poor elder care, nursing homes are finally being held accountable. A flood of lawsuits have been filed across the country and grieving families are receiving compensation for pain, suffering and the untimely death of loved ones.

If you believe you have claim involving nursing home negligence, abuse, neglect, broken bones, or wrongful death, you need an attorney with experience in this area of personal injury law to evaluate and handle your case.
