Summit County, Ohio, Unsanitary Nursing Home Injury Attorneys
Unsanitary or hazardous conditions at a nursing home may place patients at risk of accidental injury, infection or even death. If a nursing home or managed care facility's failure to ensure a reasonably safe and clean environment for residents resulted in harm to a loved one, you may have a basis for a civil lawsuit for damages.
At the Ohio law offices of Slater & Zurz LLP in Akron, Canton, Boardman and Columbus, our team of attorneys and Board Certified Physician Advisor can quickly evaluate your case and thoroughly investigate claims of injury or death caused by hazardous conditions at area nursing homes, including:
- Insect bites caused by pests such as bedbugs, roaches and spiders
- Falls and other injuries caused by poorly maintained premises and lack of proper safety features like ramps and stair rails
- Resident elopement or wandering off due to missing or broken locks and other security failures
- Infection caused by lack of regular and thorough cleaning
- Food-borne illness caused by improper refrigeration or poor kitchen hygiene
It is important not to ignore signs of poor repair or lack of proper sanitation. In our experience, for everything you notice, there are probably a multitude of problems hidden from visitors. If a loved one suffered injury or any kind of harm and you suspect that hazardous conditions may have played a part, a lawyer at our firm can help you understand your options in seeking compensation.
