Montgomeryville Nursing Home Care Injury Lawyers
Dedicated Attorneys Fight to Defend the Rights of Nursing Home Residents Injured by Negligence, Neglect, or Abuse
We rely on nursing homes and nursing care facilities to provide assistance, shelter, and care to our loved ones as they get older and can no longer live on their own or need greater assistance and care than family members can provide. Although the vast majority of nursing homes and facilities provide exemplary care to their residents and patients, nursing home care injuries do occur. Sometimes injuries happen due to accidents and negligence by nursing home facilities and their staff; nursing home residents and patients are also sometimes injured by the careless or intentional abuse or neglect of staff.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Home Care Injuries in Montgomeryville, PA
If you or a loved one have been injured in a nursing home, you may be entitled to compensation for damages such as the costs of medical treatment for your injuries, pain and suffering, lost enjoyment of life (arising from the inability to participate in activities you previously enjoyed) or loss of companionship to your spouse or loved ones.
Depending on the circumstances of your injuries, there may be several parties who bear some liability for your nursing home care injuries. Of course, the person or persons directly responsible for your injuries, such as a nursing home staffer who causes you injury due to abuse or neglect, can be held liable for your injuries. The nursing home facility itself may also be held liable for nursing home care injuries; the facility may be held vicariously liable for the negligence or reckless or intentional acts of its employees, or the facility may be held liable for its direct negligence in hiring, training, or retaining employees and staffers who cause injury to residents and patients. Finally, if a third party contractor is responsible for your injury, such as a contractor responsible for cleaning and maintenance or for food service, they may be held liable as well.
