Rochester Nursing Home Neglect Attorney
If your loved one is in a nursing home, it is because he or she is unable to function independently. Nursing home neglect and abuse is not only a failure to provide basic care; it also poses a serious risk to a patient's health. At the Rochester law offices of Burke & Burke, we represent the victims of nursing home neglect and their families. If you or someone you love has suffered serious injuries due to nursing home abuse or negligence, we help you get proper medical care and fair compensation.

In nursing homes, even the simplest accidents can turn into serious injuries. It is the responsibility of the nursing home and its staff to provide proper care and supervision at all times to avoid these types of accidents.
Simple negligence and inattention can lead to a simple slip and fall accident. In turn, this accident is more likely to cause a serious injury -- such as a broken hip -- in an elderly patient. That is why inattention and failure to properly monitor patients is considered nursing home neglect. We protect the rights of people who have been injured in nursing home accidents involving the following:
- Slip & Falls
- Malnutrition
- Dehydration
- Sexual Abuse
- Bed Sores
- Failure to Monitor
- Medication Errors
We give our clients the time and attention their cases deserve. We do not handle cases involving minor soft tissue injuries.
Wrongful Death
The smallest accidents in nursing homes can sometimes have the greatest consequences. If a patient falls and breaks his or her hip, it could lead to serious medical consequences and even death. We have seen first-hand the devastating effects these cases can have on families. If you have unexpectedly lost a loved one due to nursing home neglect, we can help your family through this difficult time.
