Nursing Home Suit Negligence

Nursing homes put profits over patients. Chronic understaffing of nursing homes is one of the most commonly cited deficiencies from CMS. Nursing homes earn their money through the administration of healthcare. Every resident produces revenue for the nursing home. Yet instead of investing in quality staff, the nursing homes squander the resources and leave overworked CNAs with impossible jobs. This drives the majority of neglect in the industry.

If a skilled nursing facility’s neglect led to you or your loved one’s injury, then you may be entitled to compensation.

Historic settlements and verdicts range from $25,0000 – nearly $10,000,000.
