Nursing Home Malpractice
When the ones we love are placed in nursing homes and other inpatient care facilities, we hope that they will be treated with the attention and care they deserve. However, this is not always the case. The Jacob Fuchsberg Law Firm fights for the rights of nursing home patients who have been abused and neglected. These complex matters are often medical in nature requiring close analysis by our attorneys, in house physician, and medical experts in order to ensure that the patient’s rights are protected. Nursing home abuse cases can often result from failure to diagnose a change in condition, neglect and errors in medication.
In a representative case, a 79 year old woman was neglected at a nursing home resulting in the development of decubitus ulcers. Once the ulcers were finally discovered the nursing home failed to create a proper treatment plan, necessitating amputation of the client’s lower limbs. The Jacob Fuchsberg Law Firm brought suit against the nursing home as well as the client’s treating doctor, who failed to recognize the developing ulcers. The case was recently settled on the eve of trail for $600,000.
