Nursing Home Neglect

Well-Versed In Nursing Home Neglect In New York

At The Cochran Firm New York, we care deeply about the rights and well-being of senior adults in assisted living, nursing homes, hospitals and receiving in-home care. When a caretaker abuses their role and those in their care, we believe serious repercussions are owed.

When To Contact Lawyer For Nursing Home Abuse

When you suspect something is not right with your loved one or you see something suspicious or harmful, it is better to be safe than sorry. We will listen carefully to your situation and can help determine the best next steps, such as talking with the senior adult, seeing a medical professional or discussing the issue with the nursing home staff.

The situation may turn into a liability issue, pressing criminal charges, an investigation by protective services or a civil action lawsuit. We can help guide this process to ensure the best care for your loved one, and to pursue fair compensation for personal damages.
