Get help after a nursing home injury
It’s never easy to entrust the care of an aging loved one to a stranger. So when a nursing home violates that trust and causes serious injuries or even death, it can be very hard to process. Fortunately, Illinois law gives injured nursing home residents and their families special rights. We help injured residents and their families with cases involving:
Bedsores
Also known as pressure ulcers, bedsores can develop when residents are not properly repositioned or cared for. We can help you hold negligent facilities accountable for these preventable injuries.
Falls
The majority of nursing home residents are elderly and many may have difficulty walking without assistance or getting around on their own. Therefore, they are often at a higher risk of suffering falls. If you know a resident who has suffered serious injuries from a fall in a nursing home, let us help.
Physical Abuse
No one should suffer physical abuse, especially in a care facility. We will fight to ensure those responsible are held accountable for their actions.
Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse in nursing homes is a serious issue. Our team is experienced in handling sensitive cases of sexual abuse and will work to protect your loved one's rights.
Infections/Sepsis
Infections can quickly become life-threatening if not properly treated. If your loved one has developed an infection due to nursing home negligence, we can help you seek justice.
Medication Errors
Medication errors can have serious consequences for nursing home residents. Whether it's a wrong dosage or a missed medication, we can help you pursue a claim for compensation.
Death
If your loved one has passed away due to nursing home abuse or neglect, we can help you seek justice through a wrongful death lawsuit.
