Experienced Nursing Home Negligence Litigation
When a family arranges for long term medical care for an elderly or physically impaired individual, they expect that their loved one will be well cared for. Sadly, that is often not the case. Nursing home staff can be overworked, underpaid and lack suitable training. These are not situations a family will see on a site visit, yet they often occur.
At Treon & Shook, PLLC , we have extensive experience in nursing home negligence litigation. AV-rated* attorney Doug Shook represented nursing homes for over 10 years. In 2004, he began representing the injured residents, with significant success and to the relief and satisfaction of family members.
Nursing home residents can be vulnerable young adults as well as elderly individuals. We understand clients with special needs, and have represented clients who have had nursing home injuries including the following:
- Pressure sores or bed sores
- Injuries from repeated falling
- Sexual assault by staff or other residents
- Emotional or physical abuse by staff or other residents
- Medication errors in dosage or prescription
- Failure to treat illnesses and infections
- Burns or scalding
- Choking on food or vomit
Some law firms will charge a fee of up to 45 percent up front to represent individuals in a nursing home negligence lawsuit. Our law firm has a sliding scale fee agreement that our clients appreciate. When you receive a settlement, our attorney fee percentage will vary depending upon the amount of settlement you receive, and when in the litigation process the matter resolves.
