Eugene Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers

Lincoln City Nursing Home Injury Attorneys

Do you have reason to believe that someone you know is being neglected, mistreated, abused or exploited in a nursing home or similar residential facility? If so, contact the Eugene nursing home abuse attorneys at Johnson, Johnson, Larson, & Schaller, P.C. We have significant experience with the investigation and litigation of nursing home neglect and abuse cases, as well as wrongful death cases. We are committed to the vindication of patients' rights under the Oregon Elder Abuse Law and other legal remedies.

Common Nursing Home Injuries

Examples of nursing home injuries that warrant investigation include:

• Medication errors
• Malnutrition
• Dehydration
• Sexual abuse
• Physical abuse
• Emotional abuse
• Broken bones
• Suspicious bruising
• Failure to provide safe and clean environment
• Falls due to inadequate restraints or supervision
• Negligent treatment of chronic infections
• Failure to prevent bedsores (decubitus ulcers or pressure sores)

In cases where an elderly or disabled victim suffers from Alzheimer's or other form of dementia or cannot communicate his or her situation directly, we work with qualified experts to determine if negligence has occurred.

The elderly are among the most vulnerable in our society. We trust nursing homes and other care facilities to provide the type of care that will keep our loved ones safe and healthy. When that trust is breached, and a nursing home patient suffers as a result, it is important to be aware of your legal options — and to take immediate steps to keep your loved one safe.
