Let An Attorney Take This Case
Nursing home wrongful death cases must be handled very carefully. Most individuals do not have the resources or experience to take on nursing home facilities by themselves. An nursing home wrongful death attorney will level the playing field and work to:
- Obtain all evidence necessary to prove liability for the wrongful death, including medical records, eyewitness testimony, facility records, and more.
- Skillfully handle negotiations with all parties involved to secure a fair settlement for your family.
- Be ready to take your case to trial if necessary to ensure justice is served in this case.
Nursing Home Abuse And Neglect Can Be Fatal
Many residents in nursing homes are frail and vulnerable to injuries and illnesses. Due to this, they must be properly cared for by nursing home employees. This includes receiving proper medical care and medications, proper nutrition, monitoring of vital signs, and more.

Choosing the right nursing home for your loved ones is a personal (and tough) decision. It is something you must decide on your own, or with the rest of your family. With that in mind, however, there are a few resources you can use to help with the decision.
The Health Facilities Consumer Information System provided by the state of California lets you search for different types of health facilities, including nursing homes. The Medicare website also provides a tool for finding nursing homes.
The Health Facilities Consumer Information System also lets you search for complaints against said facilities. You can use this tool to check on any homes you might be considering and see if complaints have been filed against them.
Remember, if you suspect any form of elderly abuse or negligence has occurred, trust your instincts and call us at Siegel Law. 562-414-5294

Pressure sores, also called bed sores and pressure ulcers, are a common sign of nursing home abuse or neglect. They are caused by unrelieved pressure on the skin. Bed sores typically appear near areas where the bones are close to the skin: the hips, back, elbows, and ankles. When pressure sores first show up, they’re just skin irritation. With prompt treatment, they typically have no lasting effects. When not treated quickly, however, later stages can result in serious damage not only to the skin but also to muscle and bone.
The greatest tragedy of pressure sores is that they are relatively easy to prevent. Regular movement of a person restricted to a bed or wheelchair can help avoid pressure sores. Someone who must remain in bed should be moved about every two hours. The use of a pressure-reducing mattress can help. A proper diet, cleanliness, and daily exercise all help prevent pressure sores and eliminate the serious harm that can accompany them.
