Elder Abuse Lawyer: Injury in Nursing Homes
California — Arizona — Oregon — Nationwide
Nursing home residents depend on trained professionals to take care of them. But sometimes nursing home accidents leave residents with serious injuries — brain injury, bed sores, serious burns, fractures and even injuries that result in wrongful death. At The Garcia Law Firm, we represent the victims of nursing home injury nationwide. Our team of experienced trial attorneys has achieved a record of success, including multi-million dollar jury verdicts in nursing home cases. We stand up against nursing homes whose abuse and neglect seriously injure their patients.
Nursing homes, or skilled nursing facilities, often take care of the sickest patients with the most complex needs. They are licensed facilities that must meet state and federal requirements in order to operate legally. When they do not – when they subject their residents to elder abuse or neglect by staff – they should be held accountable for the way they violate the law.
Sadly, most nursing home injuries are completely preventable. Nursing homes cut corners to save money. They hire fewer staff than they need and they don't pay their staff enough. The result is that nursing home residents are often neglected or even abused by frustrated staff members.
Do I have a case?
Because nursing homes spend so much time denying that injuries were their fault, families of nursing home injury victims often wonder if the nursing home really has done something wrong. Many are unsure whether or not they should take legal action.
Accidents and events that leave a loved one with a serious injury are often the nursing home's fault. Talk with a lawyer when something doesn't feel right.
