Pittsburgh Nursing Home Negligence and Malpractice Attorney.
37 Years of Personal Injury Legal Experience in Pennsylvania.
While no one looks forward to moving into an assisted-living facility or nursing home, we commonly assume that facility conditions are generally acceptable and sanitary, and that services are provided promptly and kindly.
Unfortunately, there are tens of thousands of documented cases of nursing home abuse and neglect. When injuries or wrongful death occur as a result of nursing home neglect or abuse, we can help.
At the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, personal injury law firm of Howard F. Messer, P.C., we have handled thousands of personal injury cases, including numerous cases involving group homes and nursing homes. Do you have questions regarding your legal rights and rights of your loved one following:
- Wrongful death?
- Prescription errors?
- Dehydration?
- Bed sores, pressure sores and skin ruptures?
- A falling-down incident resulting in a broken bones, including a broken hip?
- Sexual or physical abuse?
- An accident that occurred off of the facility premises due to patient wandering?
Nursing home staff members are charged with properly caring for your loved one. Bed sores are always preventable, as long as nursing home employees are taking proper steps to turn a patient on a regular basis. Falls and breaks can be prevented by proper planning and by getting needed assistance from coworkers. And off-site accidents can be prevented by proper monitoring of patients and grounds.
We have handled nursing home neglect, abuse and malpractice cases ranging from falls to infections, and from errors to blatant and ongoing sexual abuse in group homes. When your loved one is injured under the care of a care facility, you have the right to pursue the compensation your loved one deserves. To discuss your nursing home negligence and malpractice questions with an experienced lawyer, contact Howard F. Messer, P.C. for a no-charge discussion.
