Nursing Home Wrongful Death Lawyers
Many of our clients are family members of a nursing home resident who suffered a wrongful death due to abuse or neglect at a long-term care facility. These clients are angry about what happened to their loved ones and want to take legal action to protect others from suffering a similar tragedy.
Of course, not all nursing home deaths are wrongful deaths. A wrongful death is one that was caused by the negligence, carelessness or recklessness of another person or organization.
Failure to Meet Standards of Care
The failure to uphold state and federal standards for nursing home care is a type of negligence. Failure to have proper procedures in place or to train staff in the implementation of procedures is also negligence. Frequently, nursing homes have policies in place, but never communicate them to staff members who are responsible for carrying them out.
Most nursing home patients are physically vulnerable. A fall or an infection that wouldn't seriously harm a younger, stronger person can lead to a swift decline in health that can be fatal. At Dansky Katz Ringold & York, P.C., we will investigate the circumstances surrounding your loved one's death. If negligence was involved, we will pursue full and fair monetary compensation for damages.
If you believe your loved one died because of the negligence of a nursing home, please accept our sincere sympathies on your loss and know that we are here to help.
Do not hesitate to contact us to discuss the circumstances surrounding the death. If your family member died because someone else was negligent, we will pursue full compensatory damages as well as payment of all legal costs and fees from the nursing home. Our law firm represents clients throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania, including the South Jersey and Philadelphia areas.
