When you trust a nursing home or other long-term care facility with the care of an elder or incapacitated loved one, you believe that the facility will do what it promises —to caringly and attentively help your loved one.
When nursing homes fail in their duty to properly care for their patients, injured, abused and neglected individuals and their families have a broad range of legal rights under the law. At the personal injury law firm of the Law Offices of David J. Hernandez & Associates, we help people exercise their rights and pursue financial compensation when nursing homes fail to protect the safety of a patient.
Do you suspect your loved one was injured through negligence or abuse in a nursing home? We can help. Contact the New York City personal injury law firm of the Law Offices of David J. Hernandez & Associates at 718-530-0212 or send us an email .
