Types of Nursing Home Negligence Cases
Malnutrition
Proper nutrition is essential for seniors’ health and wellbeing. When a nursing home fails to provide adequate meals or neglects residents’ dietary needs, serious medical complications can result. We pursue compensation for harm caused by malnutrition.
Dehydration
Dehydration is a common issue in facilities that fail to provide sufficient fluids or monitor residents properly. Our attorneys hold negligent staff accountable for preventable dehydration and related injuries.
Slips and Falls
Falls in nursing homes can cause broken bones, head injuries, or other serious harm. We investigate whether unsafe conditions, lack of supervision, or poor facility maintenance contributed to your loved one’s fall.
Bed Sores (Pressure Ulcers)
Bed sores are preventable injuries that occur when residents are not properly repositioned or cared for. We pursue claims to cover medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care for victims of pressure ulcers.
Abuse
Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse in nursing homes is unacceptable. We aggressively represent clients and families in cases of abuse, ensuring responsible parties are held accountable and victims receive justice.
Other Forms of Negligence
Neglect in nursing homes can take many forms, including medication errors, unsanitary conditions, inadequate staffing, or failure to provide timely medical care. No matter the situation, our firm is prepared to investigate and pursue a claim.

FAQ – Nursing Home Negligence
What is considered nursing home negligence?
Nursing home negligence occurs when a facility or its staff fail to provide the standard of care required, resulting in injury or harm to a resident. This includes neglect, abuse, inadequate supervision, and failure to meet basic health needs.
How long do I have to file a claim in Michigan?
In Michigan, the Statute of Limitations for a nursing home negligence claim is typically three years from the date of the incident or injury.

Acting promptly helps preserve evidence and strengthens your case.
Do I have to pay legal fees upfront?
No. We operate on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
What types of compensation can I recover?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical treatment, ongoing care, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and in some cases, punitive damages if the negligence was severe.
