Some Reasons...

Corporate greed and sloppy management practices often lie behind some of the most appalling practices we have discovered in nursing homes including: insufficient staffing, unfair wages, and failure to properly evaluate employees to reveal possible criminal histories. Unfortunately, unqualified individuals often work in caring facilities around its vulnerable residents. We have also found situations in which unethical owners siphon off money while basic commodities such as food, therapeutic supplies, medical equipment, and even necessities are in short supply. We at Hernandez Law P.C. strive to protect those who are not able to protect themselves. We are aware of the sensitive nature of nursing home cases and strive to provide the best possible representation in a dignified, cost-effective, and professional manner.

Important to Remember

A nursing home, its owner, and/or proprietor, can be held liable for negligent care of its residents. In such a case, the injured resident must prove: 1) that the nursing home's owner or employees breached a duty of care owed to the resident; 2) that the resident was injured by this breach; and, 3) that the nursing home owner's or employee's conduct caused the injury. In a case where a resident dies because of the nursing home's negligence, it is not necessary to prove that the resident would have survived if not for the negligence. If the defendant accelerated the resident's death by just minutes or even seconds, they may be liable for such death, and if the negligence caused the resident additional pain and suffering, the nursing home is liable to the resident's estate.
