Las Vegas Nursing Home Injury Attorneys

Most nursing homes provide loving and attentive care to their residents. However, there are exceptions. Nursing homes are businesses, and some facilities have made a business decision to increase profits by understaffing their facilities. For residents, the results can be devastating. Every year, thousands of nursing home residents die or suffer debilitating injuries due not to old age but to neglect. 

If you are concerned about an injury a loved one has suffered in a nursing home in Las Vegas, or if you have unanswered questions about a loved one's death, contact Jack Bernstein & Associates. Our lawyers and staff have the experience and financial resources to fully investigate your loved one's case and help you recover compensation. Our lawyers have handled numerous nursing home injury claims against nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other institutions. 

An injury or death in a nursing home is not necessarily caused by neglect. Many people die due to age-related ailments and there is nothing a lawyer can do. However, when a nursing home death or injury is caused by malnutrition, dehydration, bed sores, repeated falls, or even outright abuse, our lawyers can hold the nursing home accountable. 

Examples of nursing home neglect may include:
• Decubitus ulcers or bed sores
• Death or injury caused by restraints
• Emergency room visits due to dehydration or malnutrition
• Fractures caused by repeated falls
• Elopement (when a vulnerable resident such as an Alzheimer's patient is allowed to wander away from a facility)
• Overmedication or under medication

If our lawyers think your loved one's injury or death may have been caused by neglect or abuse, we will obtain the complete medical records and the nursing home records and give them to an expert to examine. That expert will review the records and provide our lawyers with an opinion. If the expert's opinion is that your loved one's injury or death was caused by nursing home neglect or abuse, our lawyers will initiate a personal injury lawsuit.
