How I Serve Clients
When placing the care of a loved one into the hands of another, family members want to feel secure knowing that this individual will be properly cared for. While that is the intent, the unfortunate reality is that abuse and injury continue to occur at adult foster care homes and long-term care facilities.
Today, these facilities are chronically understaffed and residents are often cared for by individuals who have limited training and no medical background. This can result in abuse and neglect, as the staff fail to recognize when significant health issues arise or they may fail to meet the resident’s most basic needs.
As a lawyer with many years of experience litigating cases of medical malpractice cases, I have seen the problems that arise when serious injuries such as brain injuries, and heart attacks occur as a result of doctors, nurses, and hospitals, no providing proper care. Death and life altering injuries can have devasting consequences as a result of medical malpractice .
It is an honor to fight for justice on behalf of my clients. If you or a loved one has been injured at
the hands of a doctor, nurse, or hospital, please contact me for a free consultation to discuss your case.
