At the Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, P.C., we are appalled at the state of the nursing home community in and around the Chicago area. Our personal injury attorneys have been to nursing homes, and they have seen the horrible conditions that elderly residents live in. We have even handled cases where the "professionals" that we sued for negligence had forged their credentials and weren't actual professionals that were qualified to care for elderly residents.

Led by Attorney Steven J. Malman, our team of attorneys feels a strong obligation to help as many people as possible that have been injured, abused, or neglected while staying at a nursing home. We are here to work for you.

Protecting the Rights of Nursing Home Residents
A person staying at a nursing home or other residential care facility will usually do so because he or she cannot take care of him or herself and needs the help of experienced and qualified doctors, nurses, and other care professionals. Nursing home residents and the elderly have certain rights and protections that they are entitled to under the law. When those rights are ignored or violated, injury, neglect, and even death can occur.

We believe that all injured persons have a right to financial compensation for their pain, suffering, or injuries. We will fight for your rights to compensation and proper care.

Nursing Home Injuries and Abuses
There are many kinds of injuries that can occur to a resident that is abused or neglected while staying at a nursing home, including bruising, malnutrition, dehydration, gangrene, bedsores, fractures, severe weight gain or weight loss, physical deterioration, broken bones, unexplained injuries, and sometimes death. Abuses that have been known to occur at nursing homes include neglect, beatings, abandonment, mental abuse, physical abuse, sexual assault, verbal abuse, inappropriate drugging, and unreasonable restraint.

Some of these forms of abuse can be difficult to pinpoint and prove, which is why it is important that you retain the services of a personal injury law firm that understands the kinds of injuries that can be sustained at a nursing home.

Nursing home abuse and neglect are issues that the Law Offices of Steven J. Malman & Associates, P.C. take very seriously. We even have a physician on our staff with a medical degree. He knows how to identify injuries caused by abuse or negligence at a nursing home.

If you or someone you love has been the victim of nursing home abuse or negligence, we will take action immediately and do everything we can to make sure that the negligent party is held liable for their actions by paying you or your family the compensation warranted by the abuse or negligence.

Nursing home residents have the right to proper care, the right to proper treatment, and the right to compensation when that care or treatment is abused or not properly given. Over the years, our personal injury attorneys have helped many victims of nursing home abuse and negligence collect financial damages through claims and lawsuits throughout Illinois.

Many of our personal injury clients come from the nearby towns and neighborhoods of Lake County, DuPage County, Will County, and Cook County, including Chicago Heights, Lansing, Blue Island, Westchester, Homewood, Bellwood, Olympia Fields, Berwyn, Oak Lawn, Riverside, Oak Park, South Holland, Matteson, Harvey, Sauk Village, Cicero, Hazel Crest, Dolton, Chicago, and Maywood.
