If you or a loved one has been injured in a nursing home due to neglect or elder abuse, the law firm of Rich & Rich, P.C.  is experienced in this area. Nursing home neglect and abuse is often perpetrated upon victims who are unable to defend themselves due to advanced age or an underlying medical or psychological condition. Frequently, families are presented with a situation where their disabled loved one is not being cared for properly in nursing homes or other residential communities. Nursing home abuse and neglect are considered to be a form of medical malpractice law and can substantiate a lawsuit.  Let us investigate your claim to obtain the justice they deserve. Nursing homes in New York State are required to provide the necessary care and services to maintain the highest practicable level of well-being for their residents. If these standards are not met by a nursing home facility, it is a violation of New York State and Federal regulations and statutes.
