Nursing Home Negligence
Attorneys

Serving Atlanta, Georgia

When you place a loved one in a nursing home, you are also placing your trust that your family member will be treated in a professional manner, both medically and psychologically. If you have reason to believe that the nursing institution has neglected or abused one of your loved ones, you may be entitled to file a claim against it. In Atlanta and throughout Georgia, the nursing home negligence attorneys at Robbins & Associates can help you through this process.

Nursing home negligence is on the rise as many nursing homes rely on overworked, under trained and inadequately paid workers to provide care. Nursing home negligence can range from inadequate supervision to giving inaccurate medication to failure to perform proper hygiene to physical abuse. In the most serious instances, the death of the patient may result.

A congressional report* in 2001 stated that 5,283 nursing homes were cited for nearly 9,000 incidents from January 1999 to January 2001. These incidents include residents being punched, choked, or kicked by staff members and other residents. The report also revealed that more than 40 percent, or 3,800 of the violations, were reported only after formal complaints from residents, their families or community advocates.

If you believe that your loved one is a victim of nursing home neglect or abuse, please call or email one of our experienced Atlanta, Georgia nursing home negligence attorneys for a free consultation.
