Nursing Home Lawyers
There are over 1.3 million Americans who currently live in nursing homes. And that number is steadily growing. These are our parents. Our loved ones. And sadly, these vulnerable people are regularly harmed or abused in facilities which are supposed to be their homes. Currently, there are approximately one half million reports of elder abuse each year, and half of those occur in nursing homes or assisted living facilities. According to a survey by the US Department of Health and Human Services, over 91% of surveyed nursing homes were found to be in violation of the federal health and safety standards. Worse still, approximately 20% of substantiated complaints against nursing homes involve resident abuse or neglect. These statistics are shocking and demand action. The New Jersey nursing home negligence lawyers at Davis & Brusca are proud to be at the forefront of the fight against these irresponsible nursing homes. By holding dangerous nursing homes accountable, the legal claims we prosecute for our clients put pressure on nursing homes to step up, change their ways and deliver the quality care residents deserve.
Corporate Negligence
In our experience, one of the greatest threats residents in New Jersey nursing homes face, is corporate neglect. That is, efforts by the facility to maximize their profits by cutting safety corners. Generally, we see this occurring through deliberately cutting staff. Operating the facility on a “skeleton crew”, too thin to manage the residents’ needs. Our lawyers are experts at identifying the signs of corporate neglect. And holding these dangerous and irresponsible nursing homes accountable. A New Jersey nursing home can be found directly liable for injuries caused by corporate negligence. These claims expose the systemic or institutional negligence of the nursing home which create an unsafe environment. You can trust Davis & Brusca, the nursing home abuse lawyers New Jersey relies on, to find the evidence that the nursing home knew of the issues that caused the harm. Nursing homes owe their residents a duty to use reasonable care to ensure its facilities and equipment are safe. To select, train and retain competent staff. To oversee the employees responsible for delivering care. And to enforce rules and policies to ensure appropriate care is delivered. If a nursing homes is understaffed or improperly managed, the care process breaks down. And, as a result, significant harm is often caused to residents. If this has happened to you or your loved ones, you deserve the truth. You deserve justice. Trust the experienced nursing home lawyers at Davis & Brusca to hold these irresponsible facilities accountable.
