Injuries in New York Hospitals, Nursing Homes, or Rehab Facilities: What to Do When You’re Not Getting Answers
If you or a loved one has been admitted to a hospital, nursing home, or rehabilitation facility in New York, you’re placing your trust—and your health—in the hands of medical professionals and staff. While many of these individuals are hardworking and well-trained, serious mistakes still happen. These errors can lead to devastating outcomes, including life-altering injuries or even death.
At our law firm, we help families across New York get the answers and justice they deserve when something goes wrong in a care facility. Common types of facility-related injuries include:
- Bedsores (pressure ulcers) caused by improper patient monitoring
- Severe burns or disfigurement from medical mishandling or equipment failure
- Physical or sexual assault by another patient or staff member
- Wrongful death due to neglect or medical error
When injuries like these happen, it can feel impossible to get answers. Staff may refuse to explain what occurred, give unclear responses, or leave you in the dark entirely. That’s where we come in.
