Nursing home negligence is a violation of a standard of care, a violation of federal or state laws/regulations, or a violation of a resident’s rights. Nursing home residents deserve better. They have a right to appropriate care that meets professional and legal standards. In this short video, Lance Lourie explains why nursing home litigation is important. It gives the nursing home industry an incentive to provide quality care or, depending on how you look at it, a disincentive to provide substandard care.  If you would like assistance locating a lawyer to review your situation, you can contact us at websupport@ezelderlaw.com.
