Practice Areas: Medical Malpractice
Medical Malpractice / Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
At the Law Office of Patrick H. Yancey, we will handle all cases of serious personal injury arising from negligence while a loved one is under the care and supervision of others. Clients represented by our high-quality legal assistance have sustained injuries while in the care of doctors, hospitals, or other health care providers in nursing home facilities or other assisted living facilities.
What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice is an act of carelessness either by physicians, or other health care providers. It is the breach of the accepted standard of care that is recognized by other providers who are practicing with similar training in the same field of medicine. Generally, injuries are the result of inappropriate action or a failure to act. Some examples would include: the administration of excessive doses of medicine; surgery on the wrong limb or organ; or, failure to remove surgical tools at the end of surgery.
Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect is all too prevalent in our society. While many people associate the negligence of nursing homes with physical abuse, it can also be emotional, sexual, and psychological. Nursing home facilities that have a high turnover rate for staff, underpaid staff, and under trained staff tend to create situations for the abuse of your loved one.
Our law office is dedicated to assisting our clients who have been seriously injured or have loved ones that have been mistreated while in the negligent care of others. We provide experienced legal assistance to fully assist you in the event of injury.
Please contact us so that we can obtain the compensation you deserve.
