Nursing Home Negligence
Nursing home negligence is a terrible and persistent problem in America. The major reason is that many nursing home residents are virtually alone and rarely visited. That fact, combined with corporate profit motives, often leads to understaffed facilities or negligent hiring practices that in turn produce the ugly headlines we read in our morning newspapers. Our nursing home negligence practice includes cases of:
- Malnutrition
- Dehydration
- Bed sores
- Prescription errors
- Overmedication
- Falling injuries
- Abuse by staff members
Elder Abuse
Elderly people inside, and outside of nursing homes, can also be subjected to more than just physical abuse. Our attorneys understand how scam artists work and are familiar with the common types of fraud or misconduct perpetrated on vulnerable adults. Some of the specific types of elder abuse cases we handle include:
- Predatory lending
- Fraud
- Home improvement scams
- Investment scams
- Guardian or conservator misconduct
- Breaches of fiduciary duty
- Stock broker misconduct (stock churning, etc.)
