Nursing Home and Assisted Living Negligence & Abuse

Because of its wonderful climate and other amenities, Florida is a retirement haven with a significant elderly population.

When a loved one can no longer live independently, placement in a nursing home or assisted living facility is a difficult decision. When you have chosen a facility with care, only to discover that your family member is not being treated properly, it is a very serious matter.

We are experienced Florida nursing home abuse and neglect attorneys, having handled many cases in this area, including:

• The horrifying case of an elderly man who was found with over 30 bedsores riddling his body. The man even had bedsores on his ears. Our investigation obtained video of the man left lying in his own feces. A significant settlement was obtained for this terrible treatment. (Settlement terms required to remain confidential)
• A multi-million-dollar recovery was obtained for the family of an elderly resident assaulted and killed by another resident at an Assisted Living Facility. The facility claimed they were not aware of the attacker’s violent tendencies. However, intensive investigation proved otherwise, showing a number of previous attacks that were kept quiet so as not to lose the resident to a psychiatric ward, thus losing the patient revenue. When profits are put over patients, tragedies like this begin to happen.
