Morristown Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer

Nursing Home Negligence Attorneys in Morristown

If you have a family member or friend in a nursing home in NJ, you understand the amount of trust you place in the caregivers of these facilities. If your loved one has been mistreated or neglected, however, you may be unsure of how to proceed. The attorneys at the Di Lauri & Hewitt Law Group can provide you with the legal representation you and your loved ones need to hold nursing facilities accountable for neglect or abuse.

With more than 1.4 million people currently residing in assisted-living or nursing facilities, the need for competent and compassionate care is greater than ever. Unfortunately, not all nursing homes are focused on patient care. If you suspect that your loved one is being neglected or, worse yet, abused, the Di Lauri & Hewitt Law Group can help with targeted legal services designed to help you protect your family member from harm.

How Prevalent is Elder Abuse in Nursing Facilities?

The World Health Organization estimates that almost one in six residents of nursing homes aged 60 or older have been abused or neglected in the last year. These incidents are likely to increase as the world’s population continues to age. Almost one in three nursing homes in the United States have received citations for patient abuse or neglect.

If you have a family member in a nursing home in Morristown or surrounding NJ areas, these statistics may frighten you. At the Di Lauri & Hewitt Law Group, we offer practical and positive solutions to take on nursing homes that fail to live up to their obligations. Our legal team can provide the right support to hold negligent or abusive staff members and the facilities that employ them accountable for their actions.

Are Bed Sores a Sign of Neglect?

Bed sores are wounds that result from patients being left in one position for a prolonged period of time. Also known as pressure ulcers, these deep and painful sores are preventable and are a common sign that patients are being neglected in the nursing home environment. Patients who develop bed sores are bedridden or have limited mobility. Some may have speech difficulties that can make it very difficult for them to explain their situations to their loved ones.

Medicare guidelines state that bed sores and pressure ulcers should never occur in a properly managed nursing home or hospital environment. If your loved one is suffering from the effects of bed sores, the attorneys and staff at the Di Lauri & Hewitt Law Group can investigate allegations of nursing home neglect or abuse, including issues with bed sores. We look into previous reports of nursing home neglect and build a case that can help you to hold the responsible parties financially and legally responsible for your family member’s pain and suffering.

What Are the Other Types of Abuse and Neglect?

Nursing home staff members can also be guilty of other types of negligent or abusive behavior that may include the following:

    • Verbal abuse and belittlement of nursing home residents
    • Incidents of sexual abuse
    • The use of physical violence that results in pain or injury
    • Financial exploitation, including defrauding or outright robbing patients
    • Neglect and abandonment of patients by caregivers
    • Emotional abuse and isolation of certain patients
    • Failure to provide the basic needs of the patient

If you suspect any of these forms of nursing home abuse or neglect in a NJ nursing home, the Di Lauri & Hewitt Law Group can help with practical support for your legal case.

This is for Rob DelauriI am so Very Pleased with Your law services. You were very responsive to me on your chat message area, on your Google site, responding immediately through the chat, and called me right away, unlike any other attorney firm I tried to contact no one actually responded to this day. You kept me well informed about everything, and about the progress you were making on my behalf. I am very pleased at what I received and would like to thank you for a job well done with such a confusing case!

Robert DiLauri is the utmost professional. Due to my work schedule, I sent him an email on the weekend, and he replied immediately. I’m in the process of hiring a GC for a major home improvement project and the contract i was given was a bit one sided. Robert redlined the contract to achieve the proper consumer protections for me and my family. Knowledgeable and responsive lawyers are hard to find for jobs such as this, but Robert treated me and my task with great respect and professionalism and followed up with a phone call to make sure I was satisfied. I would recommend Robert and his firm to others seeking advice and legal representation.

My experience with Rob and Andre from Di Lauri & Hewitt was nothing short of exemplary! After dealing with a long, drawn out case for over a year, during which I felt inadequately represented and concerned about the lack of follow-through, I was thrilled to have them both protect me.Upon engaging with them, they were immediately taking action! They were proactive in keeping me informed throughout the process, which I appreciated so much. They were efficient, seamless in how they managed all tasks, allowing me to focus on other matters and relieving that burden for me!Their collaborative approach and effective communication with all involved parties led to a swift and outstanding settlement. Rob and Andre’s commitment to their clients is clear in every one of your interactions. They are passionate about what they do, their clients and also operate at the highest professional standards.I would highly recommend their services for anyone in need of legal representation! They are incredible people that are not only EXPERTS, but love helping people. Thank you, Rob and Andre, for your exceptional performance.
