Dedicated advocates ardently represent nursing home burn victims
Nursing homes have a duty of care toward their residents, because they undertake to care for their needs and protect them from harm. When they breach this duty by careless conduct, intentional abuse or failure to act when necessary to prevent harm, nursing home residents can suffer burn injuries from such problems as:
- Unattended heaters and heating pads
- Scalding injuries from hot water or beverages
- Failure to monitor residents at risk of burns due to mobility issues or cognitive impairments
If you or your loved one is a patient who suffers burns as a result of nursing home negligence or neglect, we are ready to assert appropriate claims to hold the responsible parties liable.
