Chicago Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Lawyer

Patients depend on the nursing homes to provide care and treatment in a safe and reasonable manner.  Unfortunately, nursing home abuse and neglect is widespread throughout Illinois and far too often patients and their families become victims of the very institutions they rely on to keep them safe.  

Nursing homes are big business in Illinois.  Illinois is amongst the leaders in the country in the number of nursing homes in the state.  The majority of these facilities are owned by financially driven corporations who emphasize the importance of profits over safety.  The singular focus on profits has led to a rise in the neglect and mistreatment of patients.    

Abuse and neglect can occur in many ways, and the harm is not always intentional.  In most extreme cases the harm can cause injuries that result in the death of a patient.  In others cases the harm can cause injuries that result in a lifetime of disability, disfigurement, emotional despair, pain and suffering.  

Nursing home abuse and neglect can take many forms, including, but not limited to the following:

• Bed sores, pressure ulcers and decubitus ulcers
• Falls
• Burns
• Sepsis (Infections)
• Medication errors
• Malnutrition and Dehydration
• Verbal Abuse
• Physical and Sexual Abuse or Assault
