### Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse
Claims against nursing and care facilities for negligence or neglect often consist of a nursing home’s failure to do the following:
- **Meet the Medical Needs of the resident:** When a resident’s medical needs
are ignored, typical injuries include bedsores, infections, mobility issues, or
catastrophic outcomes involving death
- **Meet the Daily and Basic Needs of the resident:** Often times, the nursing
home staff will fail to provide basic services to the resident, including food,
water, or clean surroundings.
- **Meet Daily Hygienic Needs:** This occurs when the nursing home staff fails
to adequately assist its residents with their personal hygiene needs.
- **Emotional Support:** Emotional neglect occurs when residents are ignored by
nursing home staff and feel unsupported, resulting in physical and emotional
injuries.
- **Physical Support:** Physical abuses to the residents occur when the nursing
home staff inflicts harm on the residents.
Nursing home victims are often victimized because they reside in the nursing home
due to cognitive or degenerative conditions. The mistreatment of these victims
deserve a voice and avid representation.
### Auto Accident Injuries
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation and the International Institute of
Highway Safety, a total of 38,824 people died in motor vehicle crashes in 2020. The leading causes of death by motor vehicle accidents are alcohol, speeding, lack of seat
belt use and other problematic behaviors such as distracted driving.

trucking accidents, car accidents, motor vehicle accidents, train derailments and
accidents, and boating accidents.

where someone is injured on someone else’s property because the property owner
failed to ensure their property was safe and free from any dangerous conditions.
Common types premises liability cases include building collapses, construction site
accidents, explosions on property, slip and falls in various retail stores, negligent
property maintenance accidents, negligent security on property, slip and falls on ice,

with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
