Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse

The Law Office of Richard Hay - Kentucky Nursing Home Negligence & Abuse Lawyers

Some of the worst nursing homes in America call Kentucky home. Chronic understaffing and a lack of trained staff are often the root cause of many nursing home injuries and deaths. As our elderly population continues to grow, so has litigation involving nursing home negligence and abuse.

Nursing home residents have the right to be treated with dignity and respect, and we devote a substantial part of our practice to protecting these rights. As attorneys who specialize in nursing home negligence and abuse cases, we are familiar with the state and national regulations that govern nursing homes, and we have the knowledge and skill to handle these complex cases. We also understand the concerns of families who have lost a parent or loved one, or had a parent or loved one injured, due to nursing home negligence or abuse, and we approach each case with compassion and sensitivity.

Nursing home negligence and abuse may result in death or serious injuries. Signs of abuse or neglect include:

  • Dehydration
  • Weight Loss
  • Bedsores / Decubitus Ulcers
  • Falls
  • Improper Trach / Feeding Tube Care
  • Bruising
  • Infections
  • Bowel and Bladder Injuries
