NURSING HOME ABUSE CLAIMS

Our law firm has represented and assisted many injured nursing home residents or their immediate family members, in bringing lawsuits against nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

Nursing home abuse or neglect occurs as a result of the careless, reckless or negligent behavior of nursing home employees. According to the State of Florida Agency for Health Care Administration there are more than 72,000 adults currently living in 719 nursing homes or assisted living facilities throughout the State of Florida.

A majority of these nursing home residents, to their detriment, rely on nursing home employees to provide them with personal needs such as food, water, medicine, bathroom assistance, daily hygiene care and social activities. Unfortunately, there are many nursing home residents who have suffered severe injuries or death as a result of nursing home abuse or neglect.
