Negligence in Nursing Homes
Nursing home and related facility residents often have medical problems or are unable to support themselves. Nursing home staff should be informed on each patient to properly perform each need they may require.
At Levin & Perconti, we’ve dealt with hundreds of nursing home neglect cases, including those where a loved one has fallen, choked, been burned, has pressure sores and ulcers, or has died. These failures often occur when nursing homes do not employ sufficient staff to address the special needs of each of the residents under their care.

Some of our most notable nursing home negligence cases include but are not limited to:
$1.4 million

Unfortunately, the quality of care in nursing homes often falls below the minimum standard required to keep residents safe and healthy. While negligence is a serious threat for residents, so are bed sores, falls, dehydration, malnutrition, prescription errors, abuse, wandering, and other circumstances that are seen far too often. At Levin & Perconti, we have the experience necessary to ensure that justice is done. Request a free consultation today so that we can get started helping you.
