Nursing Home Neglect Lawyers Serving Kane County and Beyond
When someone can no longer take care of themselves, a nursing home may unfortunately be the best of many unsatisfactory options. The decision to place a parent, spouse or other loved one in a nursing home is never an easy one. When we place a loved one in a nursing home, we place our faith in the facility's management and staff. We trust that these people will give proper care to our loved ones and allow them to live their final years with dignity. When nursing home staff abuse or neglect our loved ones, our faith is shattered.
If you have reason to believe that your loved one has been neglected or abused, you need a nursing home abuse lawyer and a law firm that shares your outrage. At Brady & Jensen, we help people across Northern Illinois and beyond hold nursing homes accountable for their negligence. Nursing home neglect or abuse can take on a number of forms, including:
- Bedsores
- Dehydration or malnutrition
- Wandering away from the facility (elopement)
- Medication errors
- Physical abuse or sexual abuse
- Unnecessary use of restraints
The root cause of many elder abuse cases is a willingness of nursing homes to place profitability over the care of their residents. Nursing homes may not properly staff their facilities, or allow unqualified workers to continue working. Residents can suffer severe harm as a result. Our personal injury attorneys will take a close look at the evidence. If there is evidence to show that your loved one suffered neglect or abuse, we will bring a lawsuit that fully accounts for your loved one's damages.
Some types of neglect, like bedsores, are obvious. Other types of neglect may be less obvious. If you suspect that something is wrong with the level of care your loved one is receiving, an attorney can help you get the answers you need.
