Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers in New York State
Let Our Family Take Care of Your Family
Anyone with a loved one in a nursing home or care facility wants to believe that their family member is receiving excellent care. Our desire to assume the best and hope for the best in others is natural.
Unfortunately, nursing home abuse and neglect doesn't just occur, it occurs regularly. Worse, it can go undetected because the victims are sometimes unable to understand or communicate abuse and because the perpetrators work hard to hide their wrongful or negligent acts. In the worst cases, victims are unable to share information because they did not survive the abuse.
At the New York personal injury firm of Smiley & Smiley, LLP, we can help you determine whether your loved one has been mistreated in a nursing home. The most common occurrences of nursing home abuse and neglect involve:
- Failure to take reasonable precautions to prevent slip and fall injuries and other types of injuries
- Failure to provide proper nutrition and hydration
- Failure to assist in personal hygiene
- Over- or under-medication
- Overt physical and sexual abuse
- Use of unwarranted chemical or physical restraints
- Failure to provide medical care
- Failure to prevent bed sores
- Failure to prevent residents from leaving the facility
