Nursing Home Negligence

Concerned About a Loved One in a Nursing Home? At Pezon Law, we advocate for victims of nursing home abuse and neglect with compassion, dedication, and relentless pursuit of justice. When you place a loved one in a nursing facility, you expect them to receive respectful, attentive, and professional care. Unfortunately, that trust is too often broken — and the consequences can be devastating.

Nursing home negligence can result in devastating physical harm, emotional trauma, and a deep sense of betrayal for both residents and their families. At Pezon Law, we work tirelessly to uncover the truth, collect vital medical records and facility reports, and pursue full compensation for your loved one’s suffering. This may include reimbursement for medical treatment, relocation costs, pain and suffering, and, in some cases, punitive damages. Whether we’re negotiating a fair settlement or taking the case to court, our priority is holding negligent caregivers and facilities accountable—and protecting the dignity and safety of your loved one.

Common Cases

Physical Abuse

Physical abuse in nursing homes includes hitting, pushing, or improper restraint use—often resulting in bruises, fractures, or emotional trauma. It’s a serious breach of trust that can be hard to detect. At Pezon Law, we investigate abuse, hold negligent staff accountable, and fight for compensation covering medical care, pain, and suffering. Your loved one deserves safety and respect—we’re here to make sure they get it.

Neglect of Basic Needs

Neglect of basic needs happens when nursing homes fail to provide proper food, water, hygiene, or medical care. This can lead to serious health issues like malnutrition, infections, or worsening conditions. At Pezon Law, we hold facilities accountable for this neglect and fight for compensation to cover medical treatment, pain, and suffering. Your loved one deserves proper care—we’re here to make sure they receive it.

Bedsores & Falls

Bedsores and falls are often signs of poor supervision or inadequate care in nursing homes. These preventable injuries can lead to infections, broken bones, and long-term pain. At Pezon Law, we investigate the cause, gather medical evidence, and fight for compensation to cover treatment and suffering. Your loved one’s safety matters—we’re here to protect it.
