Unfortunately, each year approximately 35,000 nursing home residents suffer unnecessary and avoidable pain, injury or death due to negligence, improper care and careless disregard. In Wisconsin alone, almost 30% of the nursing homes inspected over a 2-year period were cited with incidents of possible neglect and/or abuse.

Nursing home neglect and abuse refers to the mistreatment, exploitation, neglect, or harm of a resident that typically results in injury, pain, suffering, or death. If you or a loved one has been neglected, abused, or mistreated in a nursing home, an experienced Wisconsin personal injury attorney can help you hold the nursing home accountable and obtain financial compensation for the pain, suffering, financial loss, and medical expenses.
