Pellettieri Rabstein & Altman understands the difficult situation faced by nursing home and assisted living patients who have suffered preventable, needless injuries at the hands of those who were supposed to care for them. Regulations and standards that govern such facilities exist to measure whether staff maintain the level of care required for patients there. New Jersey malpractice law recognizes that when care by nurses or staff at these facilities falls outside such standards, a lawsuit for monetary damages for the injury or condition can be filed against them. The firm files these lawsuits on a contingency fee basis, so that we are not paid a fee unless we are successful in obtaining a recovery on your behalf.
The nursing home practice attorneys at Pellettieri Rabstein & Altman have represented patients in these facilities for many kinds of injuries, such as:
- Pressure wounds
- Preventable fall downs
- Fractures and head injuries
- Malnutrition
- Infections
- Abuse
- Wrongful death
- And others
Many of these facilities are private, for-profit organizations that can be understaffed. With the population aging and living longer, more individuals than ever find themselves needing care at nursing homes or long term care facilities. The combination of more patients and less staff can lead to some of the injuries or conditions mentioned above, as well as others. Pellettieri Rabstein & Altman has been successful in obtaining monetary awards for patients and their families in these cases.
