Louisville Nursing Home Lawyers
At the Louisville law firm of T.J. Smith, Attorney at Law, we have worked with many clients over the years who initially thought they had no case because they were erroneously told that “bedsores happen” or “they just won’t eat” or “old people always fall.” Make no mistake that statements like these are just plain false. With over 30 years of success in these cases, nursing home attorney T.J. Smith will get to the bottom of abuse and neglect issues.
Understaffing Can Lead To Serious Louisville Injuries Or Death For The Elderly
As our population ages, the task of caring for the elderly often falls into the hands of professional caretakers and nursing homes. While there are certainly excellent examples of both in our communities, there are also poor examples. Most long-term care facilities genuinely try to provide adequate care, but they may not have the money to properly staff the facility or to train their care providers. Understaffing and poor training account for the majority of problems that arise.
If your loved one has been the victim of neglect by a caregiver or nursing home, you need an experienced Louisville nursing home neglect lawyer who can stand up for the rights of the victim.
