Nursing Home Abuse

Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer in Seattle

We trust nursing homes to take care of our loved ones. Too often, however, nursing homes neglect their residents or directly abuse them, causing serious injuries, catastrophic injuries, and even wrongful death.

If your loved one is a victim of nursing home negligence, the attorneys of Swanson Gardner, P.L.L.C., can help. We have held many nursing homes responsible for their acts of negligence and abuse, including many cases that resulted in death. Our nursing home abuse lawyers do all our work on a contingency basis, meaning that we charge no attorneys’ fees until you receive a positive settlement or jury verdict.

In a free initial consultation, we can speak with anyone whose family member has suffered:

• Negligent care, pressure sores, decubitus ulcers
• Falls
• Failure to monitor
• Failure to provide adequate therapy
• Medication errors
• Surgical errors, failure to diagnose, and other medical malpractice matters

Bed sores are an especially common and dangerous affliction for those in nursing homes. If staff members fail to check a resident’s body frequently, ulcers develop, breaking down the skin. Once they begin, it is almost impossible to get bed sores under control, and can usually lead to amputation, systemic infections, or worse.

Many cases handled by nursing home abuse lawyers in Seattle can be attributed to the nursing home itself. In the example of bed sores, negligent staff is usually to blame, however it is often the fault of the nursing home itself for not hiring sufficient or knowledgeable staff. Nursing homes that put their own profits before people’s health and well-being must be held accountable.
