Nursing Home Negligence

FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION

When we place an elderly or disabled loved one in a nursing home or long-term care facility, we expect that they will receive proper care and will be safe. Unfortunately, that's not always the case... especially in Minnesota.

Shockingly, a Kaiser Family Foundation study in 2003, found that Minnesota was below par with the rest of the nation in some significant areas of nursing home care and safety.

38% of these facilities had a problem with the presence of accident hazards (compared to 26% nationally).
34% were cited for inadequate supervision of residents to prevent accidents (22% nationally).
16% of nursing homes in our state received a deficiency rating for actual harm (injury or death) or jeopardy (high likelihood of causing harm).

We commonly see injuries-broken bones, sprains, muscle tear-when fragile patients fall while being transferred from bed to wheelchair or into and out of a vehicle, or when a patient is improperly restrained in a bed or chair. Additionally, we see medication errors that result in injury or death.

If your loved one has suffered injury or untimely death as a result of nursing home negligence or nursing home abuse, the courts can help you hold the nursing home accountable. Contact a nursing home negligence lawyer at Suk Law Firm for a free initial consultation to review your potential medication error lawsuit or injury claim.

Reduce your car’s blind spots to reduce lane-change accidents.

Lean your head against driver’s side window and adjust left-side mirror so you see as little of left side of car as possible.
Lean head to center of car and adjust right mirror so you see as little of right side of car as possible.

You should be able to see the car in your side-view mirror just as it leaves your rear view mirror.
