Elderly or disabled persons entrusted to the care of a nursing home are among our most vulnerable citizens. That trust is often abused, causing our family members to suffer unnecessary injury, disease or death at the hands of nursing home doctors or staff. Ohio has adopted a Nursing Home Patient's Bill of Rights, the violation of which may expose the nursing home to civil liability.
At Pomerantz & Crosby, we are experienced in handling wrongful death and personal injury claims for the victims of:
- Nursing Home Neglect
- Nursing Home Abuse
- Nursing Home Malpractice and Negligence
- Violation of Nursing Home Patient's Bill of Rights
- Failure to Provide Guardrails or Other Fall Protection.
Certain injuries or conditions occur frequently and may indicate abuse, neglect or negligence of the nursing home, including:
- Decubitus Ulcers or Bed Sores
- Urinary Tract Infection
- Sepsis
- Dehydration
- Falls
- Unexplained Bruises or Injuries
- Wrongful Death.
If you or a loved one has suffered serious harm while a patient or resident of a nursing home or other assisted living facility, the nursing home or facility may be liable for money damages. In such case, contact us at Pomerantz & Crosby to discuss whether a claim exists. We will address your concerns with the attention, respect and compassion your family members, in the golden years of life, so richly deserve.
