Let Our Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys Help You
Nursing homes can be held accountable for the abuse and negligence of their residents, and we at Young & Wallin can help to insure that happens.  Today, nursing homes are being held responsible for the injury of their residents as a result of their abuse, negligence, false imprisonment and more.  Criminal prosecution and/or a civil cause of action for damages can be brought against the nursing home. 

One issue that often comes up when a nursing home abuse claim is made is whether or not the resident’s injury was inevitable due to his/her preexisting health, mental condition, medical complications and/or advanced age.  A resident who believes that the nursing home caused his or her injury should not be deterred from getting help and taking action.   There is a well-established rule of law that states that a defendant such as a nursing home facility accepts its residents as they are, whether or not preexisting conditions exist.  This means that even if a resident’s injury was made worse because of a preexisting condition or becomes harder to treat, the nursing home is still liable.  As your nursing home abuse attorneys, we at Young & Wallin offer you the compassion you are looking for and we will pursue the best strategies to maximize immediate compensation and safety.  Contact us today for a free consultation.
