Wrongful Death in Long Term Care: Long-Term Care Wrongful Death Lawyer / Wrongful Death in Long-Term Care 

Wrongful Death in Long-Term Care

A death caused by neglect in assisted living supports a wrongful death claim and, where the neglect was reckless, an elder abuse claim; a long-term care wrongful death lawyer brings both.

An assisted living death that follows a fall, an untreated infection, or a medication error is reported to the state licensing agency, and the facility's own report often tells a different story than what the family was told. We obtain that report, the facility's incident file, and the coroner's record before the facility's insurer shapes the narrative, and we review the records from the final weeks to establish what the facility knew and when.

What We Investigate

• The facility's license and the level of care it was permitted to provide

• The resident's condition in the final weeks and whether the facility called for help

• Medication management and staffing

• The facility's report of the death to licensing
