Holding a Nursing Home Accountable for Neglect
When neglect in a nursing home leads to severe harm, it takes determination to hold the responsible parties accountable. Our client shares how Jim Casey and his team fought relentlessly for justice in his case.
An Unsettling Nursing Home Experience
Our client was in his 50s, recovering in a nursing home, and was unable to move on his own. Despite his vulnerable condition, the staff failed to turn him or change his sheets, allowing a dangerous infection to develop. The infection spread to his bones and bloodstream, bringing our client to the brink of death before he was rushed to the hospital.
More Than Physical Trauma
Everyone should feel safe and cared for in a medical setting. Our client didn’t just suffer from severe physical pain at the hands of the nursing home staff. The trauma of being neglected when he was at his most vulnerable had a lasting effect on his emotional well-being as well.
Justice for Nursing Home Residents
This case was part of a larger fight against systemic neglect, ultimately leading to the prosecution of the nursing home chain for abuse. Our client credits Casey Injury with being committed to his case, even when faced with setbacks. “For Jim and his staff, they had to be persistent. They had to keep pushing and pushing—not letting off.”
