Nursing Home Neglect Interview

Hello I'm James Morris of the Law Offices of James Morris and I'd like to talk to you today about nursing homes. Our parents and grandparents deserve to be treated with dignity. When they enter a nursing home, they pay the nursing home a portion of their life savings in exchange for a promise from the nursing home to give them the care they require. If they don't receive the care they require, they can suffer crippling falls or they can end up with horrendous bed sores. I represented a man who was admitted to a nursing home for rehabilitation following a surgery. His family was visiting him regularly and they felt that he was going downhill fast. Eventually they demanded he be taken to a local hospital. When he arrived at the hospital, the hospital staff showed the family that he had horrendous bed sores.

The bed sores became infected and eventually he died as a result of the bed sores. Our investigation revealed that the bed sores had occurred because he had not been turned regularly by the nursing home staff. The nursing home claimed that my client's health issues resulted from preexisting conditions. We were able to prove through the doctors and nurses we retained that the lack of care at the nursing home caused the pressure sores to develop and resulted in the infection that killed him. The nursing home put up a vigorous defense. We were able through the work of our lawyers and through the evidence we presented, the doctors, the nurses to obtain a recovery for the widow and her children that allowed her to have peace of mind and to live at the same level which she would've lived at had her husband survived. If you'd like to talk to a lawyer about a nursing home case, I'd be honored to talk to you. There's no fee for the consultation.
