Nursing Home Negligence

When we place our loved ones in nursing homes or assisted living facilities, we trust that they will receive the care, respect, and medical attention they deserve. At Korte Law Firm, we hold facilities accountable when that trust is betrayed through neglect, abuse, or substandard care. We are dedicated to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of our community.

Identifying Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse

Negligence in care facilities often stems from understaffing or poor training. Our firm handles cases involving:

• Physical Neglect: Including bedsores (pressure ulcers), malnutrition, dehydration, and poor hygiene.

• Fall Injuries: Accidents caused by a failure to monitor residents or maintain a safe environment.

• Medication Errors: Mistakes involving incorrect dosages, wrong prescriptions, or missed medications.

• Abuse Claims: Addressing physical, emotional, or financial exploitation of residents by staff or other residents.

• Wrongful Death: Seeking accountability for fatal injuries or illnesses caused by facility-wide negligence.
