All too often, nursing homes cut corners and reduce care to unacceptable levels in order to increase their profits. There is a crisis in nursing home care and people across the country are prematurely dying as a result.

Nursing home patients—the elderly, the disabled, the injured—are vulnerable to nursing home abuse and neglect. Inattention often causes decubitus ulcers (bed sores) which can lead to life threatening complications. Malnutrition or dehydration can speed death when nursing homes don't maintain high standards of care. Patients can suffer life threatening injuries if they wander off or fall down as a result of inadequate staffing and supervision. When doctors and nurses fail to closely monitor medication, death often results, especially in elderly patients.

The lawyers in the Wrongful Death Attorney Network investigate wrongful death cases involving nursing homes and initiate lawsuits against negligent and irresponsible nursing homes. Using the full range state and federal laws, rules and regulations governing nursing homes, our lawyers work tirelessly to recover damages for surviving family members and to improve the standard of care in nursing homes.
