Minnesota Nursing Home Negligence

When you entrust your loved ones to a residential nursing care facility you rightfully expect them to be well cared for, to have their medical and daily care needs met, to be treated with dignity and respect, and to be properly and competently cared for in an emergency. If you or a loved one has been injured in a nursing home due to neglect, elder abuse, or improper medical care, the law firm of Hancock Law, P.A. can help you. Nursing home neglect, abuse, and improper medical care is often perpetrated upon victims who are unable to defend or help themselves due to advanced age or an underlying medical, physiological, or psychological condition.

Frequently, families are presented with a situation where their disabled loved one is not being cared for properly in nursing homes or other residential or long-term care facilities. Nursing home neglect and abuse are considered to be a form of Medical Malpractice and can substantiate a lawsuit. Nursing homes in the State of Minnesota are required by statute and administrative rules to provide the necessary care and services to maintain the highest practicable level of well-being for their residents. If these standards are not met by a nursing home facility or its staff and employees, it is a violation of Minnesota State and Federal regulations and statutes. Let us investigate your claim to obtain the justice you and your loved ones deserve.
