Nursing Home Neglect Lawyer Helping People Get Justice

Nursing homes, retirement homes, and other long-term care facilities have a duty of care to provide for the medical and physical care of their residents. They must also protect their residents from unnecessary harm. When nursing homes and their staff fail to live up to this standard, serious illness, injury and even death can occur.

The reasons nursing homes give for the abuse or neglect frequently include understaffing and a lack of resources. But, the truth is, every resident deserves the highest standard of care. Nobody should have to suffer because of the careless and negligent actions of others, especially when the suffering is caused by the person entrusted to care for them.

Should you notice any sign of neglect or abuse, document it as best as you can. Take pictures, write down statements from your loved one, talk to other nurses or nursing assistants and make note of their response. The more evidence you provide your Milwaukee personal injury attorney the better the chance of a successful claim against the negligent party.

Talk to an Experienced Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer

If a nursing home is directly associated with a hospital, the lawsuit is governed by the statute for medical malpractice and has different processes and limitations than if governed by the general rules of negligence. For this and other reasons, it is important you contact a Milwaukee personal injury attorney experienced in handling these cases, one with attorneys who understand the specifics and can effectively guide you through the process to a fair recovery. Domnitz & Domnitz, S.C. is that law firm.
