Nursing Homes and Neglect

Standing up for seniors.

All of our loved ones deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. But too often, we hear stories of people in nursing homes suffering from lack of care, serious falls, or more.

Looking for abuse.

The best way to protect a family member in a nursing home is to regularly check-in on their care. To prevent something more serious issues, it’s important to know what to look for:

  • Bed sores
  • Pressure ulcers
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Unexplained bruising
  • Routine urinary tract infections

Although falls can happen, the best facilities have protocols and precautions in place to prevent serious injury.

With proper training and staffing, all of these issues are preventable. But if your loved one needs additional medical care after a fall, untreated sores or malnutrition, you may have a case against the nursing home.

Getting more than justice.

At Johnson, Vorhees & Martucci we can help you get answers about the care your loved one receives.  We can help put a stop to these cases of neglect and abuse.

Filing a claim for nursing home neglect can do more than help you get medical bills covered. By holding the nursing home accountable for improper care, it can help protect other residents from experiencing the same neglect.

Those warnings appear to have gone unnoticed before a recent motorcycle accident north of Joplin. A Kansas City man, 34 years old, was killed this

The Pursuit of Justice During the COVID Pandemic

Here we are in late summer of 2021. Most of us hoped and prayed that the virus would be behind us by now. Here in the midwest, we didn\’t initially see the huge number of cases that other parts of the country did -– now here we are. However, back in 2020 and into early 2021, when people were staying indoors and businesses were on lockdown, fewer people were driving
