Families spend thousands of dollars each year in an attempt to ensure their loved ones receive the proper care and attention they deserve from nursing home and assisted living facilities.

The attorneys and staff of Ralph A. Schwartz, P.C. skillfully advocate for nursing home abuse victims in Las Vegas and throughout Nevada, California and Utah.

Nursing home negligence claims
Our attorneys appreciate the need of our clients to find answers and pursue accountability when a loved one has been the victim of nursing home abuse or neglect. Not only have our clients suffered an injustice by spending money for care that was not properly provided, but their loved one has suffered because of inadequate care.

Many nursing homes are underfunded and understaffed with overcrowding. Additionally, nurses and care assistants who tend to the residents are frequently under-trained. This combination often contributes to many injuries that potentially could have been avoided, including:

• Malnutrition or dehydration
• Wrongful death
• Infections from untreated bed sores
• Broken bones (particularly hip injuries, which are often catastrophic for the elderly)
• Fractures from falls occurred when the resident should have been supervised
• Unexplained bruises or other injuries potentially caused by physical abuse

Elderly residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities are very vulnerable to serious illness or infection. When seriously injured, it can be difficult for them to recover. If these illnesses or injuries are sustained under the direct care of the staff of these facilities, the attorneys of Ralph A. Schwartz, P.C. will do everything possible to hold the staff and care facilities accountable for their negligent or abusive actions.
