Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

Washington Nursing Home Neglect Lawyer

When a loved one becomes injured or dies unexpectedly in a nursing home, it is natural to feel responsible. After all, it was your faith in the nursing home staff that led you to place your loved one in the home. At the Gosanko Law Firm, we understand these feelings when a loved one falls victim to elder abuse or neglect. However, it is not your fault. Nursing home facilities and staff have a duty to provide residents with appropriate care. The Gosanko Law Firm can help you pursue justice for the abuse and neglect that harmed your loved one.

Unfortunately, due to under-funding, nursing homes and assisted living facilities are commonly overcrowded and understaffed. In addition, the available staff is frequently under-trained. This combination can lead to a number of incidents of nursing home abuse or neglect:

• Malnutrition or dehydration
• Untreated bed sores (decubitus ulcers)
• Broken hips or other fractures from falls
• Residents wandering off beyond unsupervised doors
• Overmedicated patients
• Unexplained injuries

We investigate the matter thoroughly. Were doctor orders followed? Was the patient repositioned adequately? Were there security measures at entrances or exits? What were standard procedures for the nursing home facility? We are here to find answers and pursue accountability. We work to recover the compensation your loved one deserves following such misconduct.
