We Help Seniors and Family Members Pursue Compensation
Senior citizens keep their basic rights when they move into a nursing home or assisted living facility. They are entitled to a safe and secure residence without the threat of physical, emotional, sexual, financial, or verbal abuse. The New York Department of Health has regulations designed to protect elderly and vulnerable people from unscrupulous caregivers, but sometimes that is not enough.
Probably the most common nursing home neglect complaint from our elderly clients is developing bedsores. Also known as pressure ulcers and decubitus ulcers, these wounds form from an extended period of pressure on the skin. The wounds to the skin and underlying tissue are typically near the heels, ankles, hips, tailbones, or anywhere there is little padding under the skin. Bedsores usually develop on individuals with limited ability to change positions while they sit in a chair or lie in a bed.
A nursing home abuse and neglect lawyer with Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. will investigate your situation and recommend the best course of action for you and your loved one.

Proving Liability in Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Claims
As nursing home abuse and neglect lawyers, we know that the idea of hitting, abusing, or neglecting an elderly resident is abhorrent. Unfortunately, nursing home abuse occurs in facilities throughout New York and on Long Island. This crime is often undetected, mostly because victims fear reprisal from their abusers. A New York State Elder Abuse Prevalence Study found that there were 24 unreported incidents for every reported case.
The legal team at Friedman & Simon, L.L.P. sees to it that each case of suspected nursing home abuse and neglect that we take on is thoroughly investigated. This encompasses identifying the at-fault parties, assessing the victim’s injuries and damages, and pursuing financial recovery.
Our nursing home abuse and neglect lawyer will consider certain factors to prove liability. They will:
- Determine that the nursing home facility and staff owed the resident a duty of care including seeing to it that the patient is provided with needed medical care that is consistent with generally accepted practice in a safe, clean, and secure environment.
- Show that this duty of care was breached through abuse and/or neglect of the resident’s basic needs.
- Prove that this abuse led to bodily injuries and damages such as pain and suffering, medical care, and emotional trauma.
