Nursing Home Negligence

Patients often go to a nursing home or sub-acute facility in order to undergo rehabilitation before moving back home. A nursing home can also be a patient’s new home when medical conditions are such that returning to an independent lifestyle is not possible. Negligence, elder abuse or vulnerable adult neglect that occurs at a nursing home or rehabilitation center may include failure to treat certain conditions such as infections and pressure sores. As with other facilities, failing to meet the standard of care can result in serious injury. Below are samples of successes obtained by Attorneys Kampinski and Schneider in the realm of Nursing Home/Rehabilitation Center Negligence...

$2.5 million settlement: a 78 year old Alzheimer patient’s lips were burned off while being given liquid oxygen. Both the nursing home and the manufacturer of the product contributed to the settlement.

$ 450,000 settlement: A rehabilitation facility was liable for a post-operative patient’s fatal pulmonary embolism despite warning signs.
