Staten Island Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Lawyers
Few things are more offensive to us than the neglect and abuse of the elderly in nursing homes. If your parent or loved one has suffered an injury or has died in a nursing home on Staten Island, we invite you to contact the lawyers at The Law Offices of Polizzotto & Polizzotto, LLC for a free initial consultation.
Not every injury or death that occurs in a nursing home is caused by abuse or neglect. However, there are certain types of situations that warrant investigation, including:
- Repeated falls
- Dehydration
- Malnutrition
- Decubitus ulcers, also known as pressure sores or bed sores
- Elopement (when a resident leaves the facility due to a lack of supervision)
- Overmedication
- Undermedication
- Injuries caused by improper restraint
- Failure to treat injuries on a timely basis
- Physical abuse
- Sexual abuse
If we believe you have a negligence or abuse claim, our lawyers will represent your family on a contingency fee basis. This means that you will not have to pay any money up front. Our law firm will advance all expenses of investigating and proving your claim. We will retain nursing home and geriatric experts to assess whether the nursing home provided proper care for your loved one. Our fee, if we are successful, will be a portion of the financial settlement we obtain for you. If we are unable to obtain a recovery, you will not have to pay us anything.
Our lawyers are pioneers in the area of elder law on Staten Island and in Brooklyn. For more than 40 years, our lawyers have served as strong advocates for the proper treatment of the elderly.
