When a family makes the decision to place their loved one in a nursing home, they take it for granted that the facility will offer the absolute best care for their elderly relative. Unfortunately, too often these facilities violate the trust by providing inadequate care or failing to keep the elderly from harm, or, in the worst case, abusing them. Feelings of guilt and anger can be overwhelming for the family when this happens.
Rhode Island Bed Sores Attorney
Upon placement of an individual in a nursing home or other assisted living facility, a health care plan is developed. When that plan fails to provide for the defined safety of that person and he or she is harmed, it's a case of malpractice.
When these types of neglect and abuse occur, I, David Morowitz, believe it's important that the victim and/or his or her family is compensated to the fullest extent of the law and the facility is held accountable. To this end I bring nearly two decades of experience as a personal injury lawyer to represent clients in claims involving:
- Assisted living/nursing home neglect, abuse, malpractice, elopement or unattended wandering
- Nursing home elopement/unattended wandering
- Medication issues
- Bed sores
- Nutrition issues

Because these facilities and their insurance providers will do everything they can do to deny or otherwise limit the compensation disbursed to the abused and his or her family, it's important to act decisively with your counsel to ensure equity and fairness in your compensation. I'm ready to work with you to those ends.
