Brooklyn, New YOrk Elder Abuse Attorney
When you put a loved one in a nursing home, you have a right to expect that he or she will be cared for appropriately. If a parent, spouse or other family member has died or been injured due to abuse or neglect at a nursing home, you may have a legal claim against that facility.
I am Brooklyn, Westchester County and Bronx nursing home neglect attorney Daniel A. Kalish. Since 1986, my law practice has been dedicated to getting justice for the victims of negligence. If a loved one has been harmed in a nursing home, don't hesitate to contact me for a free consultation.
A Dedicated Lawyer for Injured Patients and Their Families
Nursing home patients have detailed rights under federal and New York state law. Unfortunately, many nursing homes ignore their responsibilities and violate patients' rights, resulting in serious injuries. I help clients pursue claims for circumstances such as the following:
- Wrongful death: Unfortunately, many nursing home injuries eventually prove fatal. I am experienced at helping families pursue claims on behalf of loved ones who have died.
- Slip-and-fall injuries: Nursing homes have a responsibility to avoid slip-and-fall accidents by assisting patients who have trouble moving around on their own.
- Bed sores: Patients who are bedridden need to be turned regularly to avoid pressure sores. When these sores are allowed to develop, they can result in fatal infections.
- Dehydration and malnutrition: Nursing homes must provide patients with adequate food and water and keep track of their output to avoid dehydration and malnutrition.
- Physical and sexual abuse: If a loved one has been abused by a nursing home staff member, the home may be responsible for negligently hiring and supervising that person.
Many nursing homes are owned by huge corporations, and many of these corporations try to evade responsibility for injuries by contracting out services to affiliated companies. I have the experience to get to the bottom of exactly who was responsible for your loved one's injuries.
I am passionate about holding wrongdoers accountable and getting fair compensation for people who have been injured and the families of those who have died. To schedule an appointment to discuss your nursing home neglect case, contact my office today.
