Dedicated Elgin, Illinois, Nursing Home Injuries Attorneys

Don't Get Hurt Twice!

Nursing home injuries add insult to injury. When an elderly or vulnerable person has been entrusted to the care of a long-term care facility, and is treated with carelessness rather than care, contact assisted living care lawyers at Juergensmeyer & Associates and deal with a highly respected and trustworthy law firm with a 40 year history of representing personal injury victims.

Our experienced injury trial lawyers know that where there has been nursing home negligence or assisted living facility neglect, state statutes and regulations provide remedies for injured persons and their families to recover compensation. Cases involving willful neglect or abuse are especially egregious, because of the high degree of care nursing facilities are charged with providing their residents.

Unfortunately, some nursing homes violate this standard of care. When a violation has occurred, personal injury victims may recover compensatory and sometimes punitive damages against the facility for the breach of care.

Nursing home injuries occur for a variety of reasons. Some facilities fail to provide residents adequate assistance when they are walking, or fail to help residents to the bathrooms. Some fail to ensure that residents are eating or drinking enough. Some hire staff whose quality of care is sub-standard. Sometimes residents are sexually or physically abused. Some facilities keep poor records, resulting in patients' food or medicine schedules being inadequate or erroneous. Sometimes these errors, omissions, and bad records can cause the death of a resident.

Other injuries may include dehydration, malnourishment, bedsores, broken bones, or other injuries. Our experienced nursing home injury lawyers know that these injuries usually occur in violation of regulations of the Department of Public Health.
