Personal Injury

NURSING HOME ABUSE

When you entrust a loved one to the care of a nursing home or other long-term care facility, you expect that certain standards of care will be maintained. All too often, however, these standards are not met, resulting in a serious personal injury or wrongful death in a nursing home. All Florida nursing homes and assisted living facilities are licensed by the state and must meet all legal expectations and abide by a resident’s statutory rights.

Mr. Shafer has extensive experience in both the defense and prosecution of nursing home cases. When a client asks for our help, we investigate the nursing home or care facility from the ground up, looking for the precise causes that led to injury or death. Sadly, most nursing home injuries and deaths could have been avoided had the facility lived up to the promises it made when your loved one became a resident.

If you or a loved one in a nursing home has suffered injury or death as a result Physical or Sexual Assault, Bedsores, Broken Bones, Dehydration, Malnutrition, Medication Errors, or Other Negligence, please contact our office. We can help.
