Wrongful Death In Nursing Homes
We fight for justice for your loved one
Many times, the final years of a loved one’s life are spent in a nursing home. While health problems are common among nursing home residents, nursing homes have a responsibility to give them proper care. When nursing homes fail to meet this responsibility and a resident dies unnecessarily, Johnson Greer Law Group holds them accountable.
A wrongful death can occur at a nursing home as a result of:
- Medical malpractice
- Falls
- Malnutrition
- Medication errors
- Physical abuse
- An accident as a result of poor supervision
Losing a loved one is difficult but losing a loved one due to negligence or abuse at a facility that is supposed to help keep them healthy and safe is even more upsetting. It is never acceptable when negligence leads to the untimely death of a nursing home resident. Our nursing home abuse and neglect attorneys fight for families to help get justice.
When a loved one dies in a nursing home, you may be experiencing many different emotions. You are grieving your loss, but also feel that something wasn’t right. You may only have a suspicion that negligence led to your loved one’s loss but aren’t sure what to do next. That’s why it’s important to talk to us.
Proving that your loved one suffered a wrongful death at a nursing home can be difficult. Nursing homes and staff members will insist that they did nothing wrong, and insist that your loved one was at an advanced age and in poor health. Insurance companies are only too happy to take their side, because they know there’s a lot of money at stake.
Our attorneys have dedicated their careers to fighting for victims of nursing home neglect and abuse. We know where to find evidence that your loved one was not receiving the correct care or being properly treated.
Focused on results
Our legal team reviews all medical records and other documentation, and identifies and interviews witnesses. We also regularly consult with medical experts as needed who can help us determine what really happened. Our attorneys know how to build a strong case that proves negligence occurred.
You may be able to recover financial compensation for certain medical expenses, funeral expenses and other damages, such as pain and suffering and loss of companionship. It is also a way to hold the negligent parties accountable for what happened.
