Nursing Home Injuries

New Jersey Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers

The ugly fact about nursing home abuse is that most incidents are not the result of deliberate or malicious actions; they are simply the result of poor training, understaffing, or overcrowding—three issues that could easily be addressed if profit was not the primary concern.

Do you suspect that an elderly relative is being abused or neglected in some way? If so, contact an experienced lawyer at The Law Offices of John S. Hoyt today and schedule a free initial consultation.

At The Law Offices of John S. Hoyt, we understand that taking care of the very elderly and disabled is a difficult and often thankless job. We understand that staff members involved in these cases are not necessarily uncaring. Many of them simply have not been given the resources they need to do their jobs safely.

We also understand, however, that if incidents of neglect and abuse are not challenged, the understaffing, poor training, and supervision problems found at many nursing homes will not get better and more people will be injured or die as a result. Our nursing home neglect practice includes cases involving:

  • Physical abuse
  • Malnutrition or dehydration
  • Bed sores
  • Decubitus ulcers
  • Wandering injuries (bruises, abrasions, fractures, etc.)
  • Medication errors

Our attorneys have had considerable experience with these and other types of nursing home abuse—experience that is invaluable regardless of the type of case you have. In addition, our firm has a physician on staff to help us to evaluate the injuries and care issues involved in each case, and to provide clients with answers, information, and referrals to appropriate medical facilities or doctors if needed.
