Any nursing home facility that mistreats its residents should be held responsible for injuries if they were caused by inadequate care. Compensation may be obtainable if the injury could have been avoided with proper care of the nursing home facility and its staff. Our experienced New York injury lawyers handle nursing home negligence cases throughout the New York metropolitan area. We are ready to help your loved ones get the legal attention they need.
Though nobody ever wants to imagine that their loved one has been made a victim of neglect or abuse in a nursing home, there are certain signs of physical, sexual, emotional, and financial abuse that you should look out for.
Keeping an eye out for any of these signs can potentially save a life. If you suspect your loved one is a victim of nursing home abuse or neglect, you should take several steps to document the incident and get them to safety. If they’re in immediate danger, call 911. You should also take pictures of any evidence of abuse, including poor nursing home conditions or injuries to your loved one. You should also notify nursing home management. Finally, you should speak with a competent nursing home abuse lawyer who can fight to hold the nursing home accountable.
There are many nursing homes throughout Rockland County. Just some of the nursing homes and assisted living facilities in Rockland County where we handle cases involving abuse or neglect include:
If you or a loved one has been neglected or abused in any of these facilities, please don’t hesitate to speak with our firm. We also handle cases of abuse or neglect that occur in nursing homes in Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Ulster, and Orange Counties as well.
Please keep in mind that nursing home negligence claims have to be filed within three years of the occurrence. That said, there are instances of medical malpractice, within these facilities, and those claims have to be filed within 2.5 years of the occurrence. These statutory deadlines could be extended under specific circumstances. However, you must contact an attorney immediately.
