Negligent Security Lawyers - Nursing Home Abuse Information

in Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Nassau County, and Suffolk County

Negligent care and nursing home abuse is becoming widespread throughout New York and the U.S.

A March 2002 nursing home complaint study by the General Accounting Office of the Federal Government concluded, "safeguards to protect residents from potentially abusive individuals are insufficient at both the Federal and State level."

That's frightening news for families and friends of the 1.5 million elderly and disabled people living in our nation's 17,000 nursing homes.

Information about negligent security in New York nursing homes.

It's hard enough for families to put a loved one into a nursing home, without the added worry and concern over issues of physical abuse, sexual abuse and/or improper or negligent care. If you have concerns about the situation in your loved one's nursing home facility, we can help.

We have represented many families in cases involving nursing home negligence, including cases involving wrongful death, where health conditions were worsened because of negligence and/or abuse. Sometimes even failure to follow a medication regimen, failure to provide proper and adequate dietary services or failure to prevent bedsores can be enough negligence to cause injury or death.

As lawyers we've handled negligent security in nursing homes which involved a wide variety of problems including:

  • amputation of a leg or toes
  • decubitus ulcers or sores
  • pressure ulcers or sores
  • friction ulcers or sores
  • unexplained patient falls
  • black and blue marks or bruising
  • diabetic complications
  • unexpected death
  • broken bones
  • malnutrition
  • patient elopement or wandering
  • urine or bowel incontinence
  • rape or sexual molestation
  • understaffing

Nursing homes are accountable for ensuring the safety and well being of their residents. There are many state and federal rules and regulations they are required to follow in order to maintain a state license and federal good standing. We can help you to understand these regulations and know if rules are being violated.

If you suspect a problem, please call or e-mail us. Our New York negligent security lawyers know how to help families whose loved ones have suffered injury, pain, damage or emotional trauma because of nursing home negligence. We can help you remedy the situation and get you or your loved one the compensation you deserve. Proudly serving those in the Nassau County, Suffolk County, Brooklyn, & Bronx, New York area.
