Lawyers for Victims of Arizona Nursing Home Abuse
When a family makes the decision to place an elderly or otherwise vulnerable loved one in a nursing home or assisted living facility, they depend on that facility's commitment to providing quality care and prioritizing residents' health and safety. Sadly, nursing home abuse and neglect are common, and when serious injury or a suspicious wrongful death occurs it is important to find qualified, experienced legal counsel.
At Israel & Gerity, PLLC, a skilled Phoenix nursing home negligence lawyer will focus personal attention on your case. We have a strong grasp of what it takes to prove wrongdoing occurred under applicable laws including the federal Nursing Home Reform Act and the Arizona Adult Protective Services Act.
Decisive Legal Action in Cases of Neglect, Assault and Lack of Supervision
Our respected, trial-proven civil litigation firm is well prepared to thoroughly investigate and take decisive legal action for victims and families in cases involving:
- Physical, sexual or emotional abuse of nursing home residents
- Nursing home neglect, including failures to attend to and reposition bedridden residents to prevent potentially fatal infections and other consequences of bedsores (decubitus ulcers)
- Malnutrition and dehydration that can dramatically accelerate health problems or cause a premature death
- Failures to provide adequate supervision to prevent falls and other injury-causing accidents
- Denials of necessary medical treatment arising from failure to monitor residents' conditions, unwillingness to incur costs or other circumstances
Many serious problems in nursing homes and other care facilities arise from failures to perform sufficient background checks on employees. In other cases, administrators are responsible for understaffing, poor facilities maintenance and cost-cutting that harms residents. We have the resources to expose what happened and seek maximum compensation for your losses and damages.
