Nursing Home Neglect

Chicago, Illinois, Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers

Bed Sores - Malnutrition - Medication Errors - Falls

When you or a loved one requires medical or extended nursing care, you have no choice but to trust health care professionals to provide proper care. In most cases, you or your loved one will receive appropriate health care. But sometimes, your trust is betrayed — and your loved one is subjected to improper treatment or neglect at a nursing home or long-term care facility. When that happens, you need an experienced Illinois nursing home lawyer to ensure that you get the compensation you deserve.

Our office handled the first nursing home neglect case in Illinois history that resulted in the closing of a nursing home by the State of Illinois. This case also resulted in the "First National Conference on Decubitus Ulcers" held in Chicago, Illinois.
