Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse
Chicago, Illinois Attorney
When we place a family member in a nursing homes or long-term care facility, we expect the greatest care to be taken for their physical and emotional well-being. After all, we are paying a great deal for that care.
But just as patients are injured from medical malpractice, patients in nursing homes are sometimes injured from lack of care, improper care, or nursing home abuse.
At the Law Office of Gerald Donoghue, we investigate nursing home negligence and abuse cases with the utmost care in order to prepare courtroom presentations that clearly demonstrate the extent of neglect and abuse.
Elders and infirm persons living in nursing homes may suffer nursing home injury or a wrongful death from:
- Abuse by medical staff, aides or other poorly trained or unsupervised staff
- Medical malpractice such as medication errors and wrong medicines, failure to supervise medical treatments
- Lack of supervision leading to falls or burns
- Improper use of restraints leading to falls or other injuries
- Poor medical care or nursing neglect resulting in malnutrition, dehydration, bed sores/sacral pressure sores/decubitus ulcers, leading to sepsis and infections
- Physical abuse or sexual assault
- Improper transport, including injuries suffered from auto accidents or falls from autos
