The injuries that result from nursing home negligence can take many forms, from dehydration, malnutrition or bed sores due to inattention, to broken bones and even death resulting from a fall. Frequently, these tragic accidents occur because nursing homes often fail to properly train employees or screen job applicants, leaving residents to suffer the consequences.

At Duffield & Lovejoy, PLLC, we personally investigate every nursing home neglect case, so that we can fully understand what happened and help our clients secure full and fair compensation for their injuries. Unfortunately, we know from experience that many nursing homes are corporations that value profits over people.

When you decide to move a loved one into a nursing home, you enter into a relationship of trust with the facility. You agree to pay them to care for your loved one because you believe that they will look after your family member's best interests. When the facility breaches this trust, it is our job to hold them fully accountable.
