A LOVED ONE FELL IN A HOSPITAL AND INJURED. THE HOSPITAL IS BILLING ME FOR THEIR CARE. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Patient falls in hospitals and healthcare facilities are usually the product of an unacceptable lapse in care.  Too often, healthcare facilities fail to protect frail patients from the dangers of falls in their facilities.  Fall victims are usually frail and can be seriously injured or even killed by the falls.  To make matters worse, hospitals often charge patients for the care provided for the fall!  We have experience in helping people recover from injuries that occurred in the hospital.  Call us. We can help.

A LOVED ONE GOT A BED SORE WHILE IN A HEALTHCARE FACILITY. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?

Pressure sores occur when a patient is not properly padded, adjusted, and cared for.  Pressure sores can cause debilitating and sometimes fatal injuries that can be devastating to the patient.  Pressure sores are often caused by a breakdown in nursing care.  They are by and large unacceptable.  We have experience in helping people hold healthcare facilities to account for failures to provide proper care.
