Will County Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys
When an individual is placed in a nursing home or other assisted living facility, an individual health care plan must be developed. When that plan is deviated from or fails to provide for the safety of that person in some way and that person is harmed as a result, medical malpractice has occurred.
We handle claims involving:
- Assisted living neglect
- Nursing home abuse / nursing home malpractice
- Nursing home elopement / unattended wandering
- Overmedication
- Bedsores
- Inadequate nutrition
As attorneys, we are well versed in our state's Nursing Home Care Act legislation and very familiar with the Illinois Department of Public Health which governs and investigates complaints in this area. Nursing home malpractice is a growing problem in our country and these allegations are taken very seriously.
And, under our state's legislation, both punitive damages and attorneys' fees may be awarded in these cases.
However, it is very important that you contact an experienced nursing home negligence lawyer to pursue your claim and to make these providers actually provide. Your successful claim will do much to help ensure a gold standard of care both now and in the future.
