Nursing Home Negligence
Free Initial Consultation
Call 1-888-333-3518
Each year the number of individuals in nursing homes and assisted living facilities increases and each year thousands of these patients die or are seriously injured as a result of abuse or neglect. The leading cause of this substandard care is deliberate understaffing by corporations that place profit over the value of human life.
If your parent or loved one has been injured in a nursing home, it may be due to neglect or abuse. The lawyers of Hodge Law firm will investigate on your behalf to determine if your loved one's injuries were caused by abuse or neglect, and if so we will hold the facility fully responsible. If the facility was not negligent in caring for your loved one, you will have the peace of mind of knowing that your loved one received proper care.
Our nursing home negligence lawyers offer a free initial consultation to discuss your nursing home negligence case and handle nearly all nursing home negligence cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that you pay nothing up front for our legal services. If we represent you on a contingency basis and are successful, our fee will be a percentage of the settlement or award we obtain for you; if we are not successful, you will owe us no attorney fees.
Some specific examples of nursing home negligence:
- Falls from wheelchairs or beds resulting in head injuries and bruises
- Bed sores and ulcers from long neglect
- Malnutrition from lack of care in feeding
- Dehydration
- Misplacement of feeding tube
- Inadequate staff resulting in neglect to patients
- Misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose
- Prescription errors
- Medical mistakes
