Areas of Medical Malpractice Litigation We Handle

Elder abuse in nursing homes often overlaps with medical malpractice, especially when essential medical assessments and treatments are missed or mishandled. 

McGee Lerer Ogrin pursues cases in key areas, including:

• Medical Malpractice in Nursing Homes – These claims arise when nursing homes fail to provide proper and timely medical care. This can involve incomplete initial nursing assessments, dangerous medication errors, failure to recognize or treat changes in residents’ conditions, overmedication or use of chemical restraints, and delays in emergency responses.
• Holding Responsible Parties Accountable – Elder abuse litigation often involves multiple parties. We pursue accountability from nursing home administrators and the medical staff on-site—such as physicians and nurses—and from contracted care providers and outside coordinating physicians. In many cases, parent corporations that prioritize profits over adequate care are also held responsible.

Our attorneys understand the unique challenges these cases present and work diligently to expose negligent practices and help secure accountability.

The Impact of Nursing Home Medical Malpractice

Faulty medical care in nursing facilities can have devastating effects on seniors. Missed or incorrect treatments can exacerbate health problems, leading to preventable injuries or even wrongful death. Medication mistakes, such as giving the wrong dosage or failing to monitor side effects, pose particular dangers. Delays in responding to emergencies further endanger the lives and welfare of residents.

When these failures occur, families face overwhelming distress trying to support their loved ones through needless hardship. Litigation can provide important financial remedies and serve as a step toward improving safety standards in nursing homes.
