Making Ohio Nursing Homes Answer for Broken Bones and Fractures
If a loved one has suffered a broken bone or fracture while in residence at an Ohio nursing home, assisted living or managed care facility, we want to know about it. At Slater & Zurz LLP, we fight for the victims of nursing home neglect and abuse. We help our clients understand their legal options in making negligent nursing homes pay for the injuries that result.
A broken bone or fracture can occur in many ways. Some involve negligent supervision (resulting in a fall) or even abusive treatment by nursing home staff. Some do not. Our Board Certified Physician Advisor is a former nursing home director who can assess your case and identify the likely causes of your loved one's injury. For a free and informative consultation, please contact us today.
Making Those Responsible for Neglect or Abuse Pay
If it is found that neglect or abuse may be to blame, our team of attorneys has the skill and experience to hold the nursing home to account in court. Even if the broken bone or fracture was caused by a careless staff member, the nursing home itself may have to bear the legal and financial responsibility to compensate the victim. Why? Employees have to be qualified for the position they hold. If a nursing home hires unqualified employees or fails to adequately train or monitor its staff, it can be found negligent.
If an injury such as a broken bone, fracture or other unexplained injury happens on the watch of an unqualified, untrained or uncertified staff member, we will aggressively pursue all legal remedies available, such as a civil suit for financial damages.
Getting the Honest Answers You Need
How is the nursing home ranked by Medicare? Is the staff properly qualified and trained? Does the nursing home management exercise proper caution when hiring staff members in order to weed out potential employees with a history of carelessness or abusive behavior? If your loved one suffered a broken bone, fracture or other unexplained injury, you need honest answers to these important questions.
We can get you those answers. Contact our offices in Akron, Canton, Boardman and Columbus today to schedule a free initial consultation with an experienced lawyer.
