Attorneys for Victims of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Nursing homes are entrusted with the care of some of society's most vulnerable people — those who are not able to care for themselves day-to-day and need professional assistance. We have a right to expect nursing homes to live up to their mission and provide adequate care and security rather than abuse and neglect.
If you or a loved one have been injured, abused or mistreated in an Illinois nursing home, our attorneys at Noonan, Perillo, Polenzani & Marks, Ltd., based in Lake County, may be able to help you obtain compensation. Contact us to schedule a free consultation. We accept negligence cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you will pay us nothing unless and until you are compensated for your injuries.
Handling All Types of Nursing Home Negligence Claims
Nursing homes are required to provide both medical attention and personal care to people who need a high level of supervision and assistance. Unfortunately, the negligence of nursing home employees and contractors often have serious consequences for residents.
At Noonan, Perillo, Polenzani & Marks, Ltd., we help nursing home residents pursue compensation for injuries caused by abuse or neglect, such as the following:
- Falls out of beds or wheelchairs
- Failure to provide necessary medical treatment
- Bed sores (decubitus ulcers) caused by negligent care
- Physical and sexual assaults by residents or staff members
If you or a loved one has suffered abuse or neglect in a nursing home, you should consult an attorney who is familiar with the provisions of the Illinois Nursing Home Care Act, the law that governs nursing home negligence claims in Illinois. We have handled many cases under this law.
Working With Expert Professionals to Establish Liability
Determining whether abuse or neglect occurred in a nursing home case — and, if so, who is at fault — can be complicated. We enlist the help of skilled nurses, physicians and other expert professionals to evaluate our clients' cases and determine the best course of action for recovering compensation.
Illinois law requires that nursing home residents be treated with care and respect. Whether you have been mistreated at a nursing home or your parent or other loved one has been the victim of abuse or neglect, don't hesitate to contact us to get an experienced nursing home negligence lawyer on your side.
