This includes claims involving allegations of improper care, medical care issues and errors, inadequate supervision and staffing, negligence, patient/resident abuse and rights’ violations, falls, bed sores/decubitus ulcers, elopement, and failure to monitor.
The team of attorneys, geriatricians, and nurse consultants understands the special concerns in defending these complex, sensitive, high-value cases and the emotions they invoke. They pride themselves in understanding the delicate, yet complicated relationships that exist between long-term care providers, skilled nursing providers, their residents,and immediate family members and strive to resolve each case in a respectful, professional, and effective manner.
