Nursing homes are intended to provide a safe and supportive environment for elderly individuals who require assistance with daily living activities. However, in many cases, these facilities fail to meet the necessary standards of care, leading to instances of nursing home negligence.

Client’s case

Similar to the well-publicized McDonald’s “hot coffee case”, a 91 year old man received groin burns from hot tea. Despite surgery and hospitalization, this WWII fighter pilot passed away. The nursing home vigorously denied responsibility blaming our client for the spill. When the case started, the insurance company claimed we had no case and would never settle.
