Nursing Home Litigation

Nursing Home Litigation

Nursing home negligence is a rapidly growing area of healthcare litigation. The firm has successfully defended numerous nursing home facilities facing a variety of lawsuits. We focus our practice in the areas of record and staffing deficiencies, license infractions, falls, nutritional issues, decubitus ulcers, abuse and cause of death. In addition, we have a full staff of nurse paralegals and certified legal assistants who often assist in the challenging task of locating and initially interviewing ex-employees, reviewing records and managing other aspects of this practice which relies heavily on discovery and record review.
