Nursing homes have a duty to protect residents from threats of violence, as well as from neglect and other issues that may put their safety at risk.
Nursing home abuse and neglect is something that state and federal agencies take very seriously. If you have a family member who you believe is suffering at the hands of a nursing home, you should contact your local authorities immediately, as well as our personal injury attorneys.
Last month, it was announced that a Long Island nursing home was under investigation following the death of a 71-year-old resident. According to CBS New York, at the nursing home, the Medford Multicare Center, a few employees were recently charged in connection to the death of a resident.
On June 5, nine employees were arraigned on patient neglect and abuse charges, and for falsifying business records in connection to the October 2012 death of a resident.
On July 20, another resident died at the same nursing home and State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s Office sent investigators to the facility to investigate the circumstances surrounding the resident’s death.
According to media reports, the family of the second resident to die said that the resident’s death certificate disputes the timeline of events that led to her casualty as told by the nursing home.
How Can I File an Injury Lawsuit Against a Nursing Home?
Aside from death, nursing home residents can suffer injuries because of neglect. Injuries to look out for can include bedsores, malnutrition or dehydration, head injuries and infections. All of these issues are painful and preventable.
Our firm represents people who have suffered nursing home injuries, as well as the family members of residents who have experienced neglect. Contact our Bergen County nursing home abuse attorneys today so that we may review your case and seek out damages.

KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.Posted on Google

Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.Posted on Google

Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommendPosted on Google

We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!
