Do you have a loved one in a nursing home? It’s estimated that there are over 3.2 million residents in nursing homes across the US today, and that number is growing.

Nursing home neglect, or nursing home abuse as it is also known, refers to the physical or emotional mistreatment and/or negligent care of residents living in nursing homes, assisted living facilities or rehabilitation centers. This mistreatment or neglect leads to injuries or even worse, can result in death.
If you believe you have a nursing home neglect case, one of the most important things to consider is that time is limited. In the State of New York, you have up to three years from the date of the accident or injury to file a case.
If you suspect someone you love is a victim of nursing home neglect or nursing home abuse, then time is of the essence when it comes to consulting with a nursing home neglect attorney.
