Nursing Home Abuse and Negligence

Discovering that your loved one has been neglected or abused in a health-care facility can be extremely distressing. You may have placed your loved one in a nursing home care facility because they were unable to care for themselves, or needed supervision you could not provide. To realize that the caretakers you trusted with your parent, grandparent, or other loved one were neglectful or abusive is devastating. At Johnson Welch P.C., we are dedicated to pursuing claims on behalf of victims of nursing home abuse and negligence.

Nursing home abuse and neglect are inexcusable offenses against vulnerable adults. Our attorney works to get compensation for victims and to help prevent future incidents of abuse or neglect.

In addition to physical abuse, nursing home injuries may also result from negligence. Your loved one may have suffered bedsores because they were not rotated or moved while incapacitated. Falling out of a bed due to lack of guardrails or restraints, leaving the premises without supervision, and lack of needed assistance when walking can all result in serious, and often fatal, injuries including broken hips, and head injuries. These incidents can lead to catastrophic injury or even death. No such incident should go unreported or uncompensated.

    To report nursing home abuse, please contact the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.

    Our attorney will fully investigate the circumstances of the abuse including past incidents, interviewing witnesses, and consulting with experts on proper standards of care.
