Nursing Home Abuse
Kentucky Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Attorneys
The legal team at Garmer & O'Brien is dedicated to serving clients who have suffered nursing home neglect and abuse. By dedicating our practice to the specific needs of a select group of clients, we are best able to provide comprehensive legal strategies aimed to achieve precise objectives.
Experience - Dedication - Compassion
Since 1988, the lawyers of Garmer & O'Brien have provided dedicated and skillful representation to people in Lexington and throughout Kentucky. We have extensive knowledge of the statutes that apply in cases involving abuse and neglect in nursing homes and other long-term-care facilities, like the Kentucky Residents’ Rights Act, which includes the Nursing Home Residents' Bill of Rights.
We handle all types of nursing home abuse and neglect claims, including:
- Bedsores and pressure ulcers
- Malnutrition and dehydration
- Falls due to lack of supervision
- Improper restraint
- Personal hygiene issues
- Failure to provide medical treatment
- Medication errors
Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. We are committed to holding nursing homes and care facilities accountable when they and their staff fail to appropriately care for their residents. We know that many of these cases are the direct result of nursing facilities failing to maintain adequate staffing levels, and putting profits before people. They seek to save money and improve their bottom line by hiring workers without the skill or background to provide the proper care, or they simply have a staff that is too small to provide all of the services to which their residents are entitled.
