New York Nursing Home Negligence Attorney

Many women take on the responsibility of caring for their loved ones. When they are unable to manage the level of care needed by a parent or grandparent, they may turn to a nursing home care facility to take on the medical needs of an elderly relative. For women and families who place their loved ones in nursing home facilities, it can be devastating to discover that the patient suffered from neglect, improper treatment, or even elder abuse while a resident of a care facility.

Kramer & Dunleavy, LLP is a Manhattan area law firm seeking to protect the lives of vulnerable adults. We routinely work with victims and families to confront negligent owners and employees of nursing homes.

An injury to an elderly person can mean life-altering infections, lacerations, or broken limbs. It takes longer for older people to recover and, in many cases, even minor injuries can lead to the premature or wrongful death of an elderly person. If your loved one has suffered from nursing home neglect or elder abuse, our attorneys at Kramer & Dunleavy, LLP are available to assert your rights and recover just compensation for any injury or loss.

Contact us for more information regarding nursing home neglect or elder abuse. We will provide you with the legal support and advocacy you need to obtain results.

Nursing home neglect and elder abuse cases commonly arise from any of the following:

• Pressure sores/bed sores
• Improper medication, such as over-medication
• Muscle atrophy or other negative muscular effects
• Failure to use handrails and safety belts (resulting in serious falls)
• Failure to monitor or supervise
• Failure to provide adequate nutritional care (leading to dehydration or malnutrition)
• Falls
• Over-restraint
• Elder abuse

A legal action allows you to assert your rights, confront negligent operators, and prevent future nursing home neglect.

Many injuries are the result of failure to comply with protocol, negligent doctors, or negligent staff. Unfortunately, nursing home injuries are often the result of understaffing, insufficient training, and inadequate supervision of staff. Regardless of the cause of injury, our attorneys will help to identify every responsible party. By collecting medical records, consulting with witnesses, and contacting experts regarding your case, we will be able to build a compelling case against a negligent nursing home facility.
