Nursing Home Abuse

Florida's Residents' Rights Act, section 400.22 of the Florida Statutes, protects its elderly from the "health hazards and deficiencies in patient care that allegedly [had] been allowed to continue for years." The reason for state and federal protection of the elderly is simple: all too often nursing homes, long-term care and assisted living facilities have placed profits before the quality of care. The personal injury lawyers at Parvey & Frankel believe that it is reasonable to expect that our loved ones will be properly treated and cared for in their golden years, and we handle personal injury and wrongful death cases involving:

• Bed sores and infections
• Dehydration and malnutrition
• Elder financial exploitation
• Falls and fractures
• Inadequate staffing, training, and supervision claims
• Medication and prescription errors
• Mental cruelty and psychological damage
• Physical or chemical restraints
• Physical abuse and neglect
• Sexual assault

At Parvey & Frankel, we strive to protect those who are not able to protect themselves. If you have questions or concerns about the condition of a friend or loved one in a nursing home, long-term care or assisted living facility, please contact the personal injury lawyers at Parvey & Frankel today. We offer free initial consultations and work on a contingent fee basis, which means that there is never a fee unless we successfully resolve your case.
