Nursing Home Injury Attorneys in New Jersey
Protecting Residents' Rights
At Dansky | Katz | Ringold | York, our practice of nursing home abuse claims goes beyond the individual client. We want to ensure that no other vulnerable resident is victimized.
Since the mid-nineties, the personal injury trial lawyers at Dansky | Katz | Ringold | York have protected the rights of nursing home, rehabilitation center or skilled nursing facility residents who have fallen victim to the following:
- Injuries of Unknown Origin - Discovering a loved one with unexplained injuries shatters the trust you placed in a nursing home facility.
- Physical & Chemical Restraints - While some nursing home residents require some form of restraint, a neglectful staff member may go to extreme and sometimes deadly measures.
- Bedsores & Ulcers - Bedsores are not a minor problem. When procedures are ignored, a minor sore can become a potentially fatal ulcer.
- Falls & Fractures - With nearly 2,000 nursing home residents dying in falls each year, you must take fast action if your loved one has been injured.
- Sepsis - An undetected, aggressive infection can take the form of blood poisoning. Failure to diagnose the illness can lead to a resident's death.
- Wandering & Elopement - Neglectful nursing home employees can lose track or your loved one, causing them to wander away and become seriously injured.
- Medical Neglect - Sadly, in many nursing homes, medication errors and a failure to contact a physician is the rule, not the exception.
- Malnutrition & Dehydration - When nursing homes reduce staffing, residents go unattended, resulting in potentially fatal malnourishment or dehydration.
- Medication Errors - Not following a doctor's direction in dispensing medication is a deadly form of negligence.
- Physical Abuse - Instances of physical abuse must be dealt with not only criminally, but civilly in holding the negligent parties accountable.
- Sexual Abuse - A nursing home resident suffering from Alzheimer's or confined to bed can become victims of sexual abuse.
- Wrongful Death - Following the death of your family member, you need to take steps to protect their rights and ensure that other residents do not suffer the same fate.
- Emotional & Mental Abuse - Being subject to verbal attacks must be dealt with swiftly and effectively.
- Employee Neglect - Neglect in a nursing home can lead to serious injuries and death. Our job is to stand up for the rights of residents.
- Hazardous & Unsanitary Conditions - When a nursing home fails to meet basic cleanliness standards, conditions become hazardous.
- Abuse of Alzheimer's Patients - Nursing home and assisted living facility residents suffering from Alzheimer's are extremely vulnerable to abuse and neglect.
- Understaffing/Failure to Monitor - A lack of staff, while saving money, can have devastating consequences for your family.
