The attorneys partnered with Nursing Homes Abuse LLC have a proven history of success in securing financial compensation for their clients. Some of these significant settlements include: 

• $425,000 – This is a nursing home negligence action in which the resident, a frail and dependent individual, sustained a severe pressure ulcer and a traumatic injury to her breast as a direct result of the facility’s failure to provide adequate nursing care, supervision, and skin integrity management. The defendants departed from accepted standards of geriatric and nursing home care by failing to conduct proper and consistent skin assessments, failing to implement and adhere to appropriate turning and repositioning protocols, failing to maintain adequate hygiene and incontinence care, and failing to timely recognize and treat early signs of skin breakdown, thereby allowing a preventable pressure injury to develop and progress. In addition, the resident sustained a torn breast injury consistent with improper handling, transfers, and rough or unsafe caregiving techniques, reflecting a lack of adequate staffing, training, and supervision. These injuries were foreseeable and preventable and resulted in significant pain, infection risk, functional decline, and overall deterioration in the resident’s health and quality of life.

• $165,000 – This is a negligence action arising from a slip and fall incident in an assisted living facility, where the resident, a known fall risk requiring supervision and assistance, was caused to fall due to the facility’s failure to maintain a safe environment and implement appropriate fall-prevention measures. Defendants departed from accepted standards of assisted living and geriatric care by failing to properly assess and reassess the resident’s fall risk, failing to provide adequate supervision and assistance with ambulation and transfers, and failing to ensure that walking surfaces were safe and free of hazards. As a direct and proximate result of these failures, the resident sustained a displaced hip fracture, severe pain, and functional decline, necessitating surgical intervention and extensive rehabilitation, along with prolonged suffering, loss of mobility, and a significant diminution in her quality of life.
