Nursing Home Abuse

Although nursing homes promise to provide quality care in a nurturing environment, the decision to place a loved one in a nursing home facility is difficult, not only because it is complicated by emotion, but also because it requires complete trust of the people employed by the nursing home. Most often, the trust is deserved. However, from time to time, nursing homes violate that trust and innocent people are injured or killed as a consequence.

The lawyers of McChesney & Ortwerth have successfully represented the victims and families of nursing home abuse. We have handled personal injury and wrongful death cases resulting from the most common injuries that occur in nursing homes, including decubitus ulcers (also known as pressure sores or bed sores); malnutrition and dehydration; and broken bones fractures from drops and repeated falls.

If you or a loved one has suffered injuries as a result of nursing home abuse, please contact our office for a free consultation.
