Nursing home facilities and staff are entrusted with the care of the nation's most vulnerable adults - the elderly, disabled and ill. It is tragic to learn that an individual has suffered an injury or has died as a result of nursing home abuse or neglect. At the Law Offices of Jeffrey I. Amtman, we advocate for the rights of nursing home residents. We strive to make long-term care facilities a better place to live by holding negligent facilities and staff accountable for their misconduct or negligence.

Nursing Home Negligence in New Jersey and New York

Doctors, nurses, and other nursing home staff are expected to provide patients with quality care and attention. However, due to overcrowding, insufficient staffing and inadequate training, nursing home residents are not being given the care and attention they need and deserve.

Our law firm is experienced handling nursing home abuse and neglect cases that involve issues such as:

• Lack of supervision
• Failure to monitor conditions
• Failure to comply with doctor orders
• Failure to treat bedsores
• Failure to properly administer medications
• Failure to provide a balanced diet (resulting in malnutrition or dehydration)

We also handle sensitive nursing home abuse cases arising from physical abuse and sexual abuse allegations.

Standing Up for the Injured, Abused and Neglected

Detecting nursing home neglect or abuse can be challenging. By the time family members become aware of the misconduct, it is often too late - the damage has been done. However, if you recognize unexplained bruises or other signs of abuse or neglect, it is important to consult a professional to investigate the matter.

If a loved one has suffered injuries or has died as a result of nursing home abuse or neglect, we can help you pursue compensation and justice. Contact our New Jersey law firm to speak with a skilled and compassionate lawyer. Call (201) 308-5304 or (866) 592-4136. We can help.
