Standing Up for Mistreated Residents
Nursing homes are supposed to be there to take care of people who are no longer able to fully care for themselves. They are supposed to provide 24-hour attention and supervision as well as the level of medical and personal care that is appropriate to each resident. The consequences of nursing home neglect can be severe.

Seeking Compensation for All Types of Nursing Home Injuries
Nursing homes have a duty under New York personal injury and nursing facility laws to provide an adequate level of care to their elderly and infirm residents. When nursing homes and their employees fail to live up to their responsibilities, their abuse and neglect can cause serious injuries, including but not limited to:
- Fall injuries
- Bed sores
- Infections
- Dehydration
- Malnutrition
Nursing home residents and their families place trust in these facilities. When that trust is violated, the responsible parties should be held accountable. In many cases, nursing homes themselves can be required to compensate the victims of abuse and neglect committed by employees who they did not adequately screen or supervise.
We are dedicated to pursuing fair compensation for the victims of nursing home abuse and neglect. Whether you, your parent or another loved one has been injured in a nursing home, don't hesitate to contact our office to discuss your case with an experienced New York trial lawyer.
