It is important to seek legal help from a lawyer for nursing home abuse right away

Nursing home abuse and neglect is a serious problem in the United States, with millions of elderly patients affected each year

Approximately 1.5 million people live in nursing homes, according to U.S. government statistics. Unfortunately, nursing home companies often focus on corporate profits over the needs of residents. They do this by hiring insufficient numbers of employees with inadequate qualifications, experience, and training, which leads to troubles like nursing home abuse.

The consequence? Thousands of nursing home residents are injured or die each year.

The Florida lawyers for nursing home abuse team at the LaBovick Law Group are dedicated to providing information and legal representation to the victims and families of nursing home neglect and abuse. Our nursing home neglect attorneys strive to protect those who are not able to protect themselves.

PREMISE LIABILITY

$450,000

James was searching for equipment for painting at Home Depot. In the aisle next to him, there was a worker on a lift stocking the highest shelf. The worker pushed boxes so far across the shelf that they fell off the other edge and hit James in the head. The force almost knocked James unconscious. He sat down and the loud bang got the worker off the ladder to see what fell. When they saw James they offered him a bucket and made a report. James did not recall leaving the store or how he got home. He did not recall much except being at home depot and getting hit in the head. Home Depot told him that it was a small box of dust masks that hurt him. We discovered it was actually a large box of emergency kits that fell off the shelf.
