Nursing Home Neglect

According to statistics from the Kaiser Foundation, only two states have more registered nursing homes than Ohio. Astonishingly, of the 918 assisted living facilities in our state, the Kaiser group found that 88 percent showed some kind of deficiency during a recent study.

The residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities are among the most vulnerable members of our society and their safety, privacy and dignity are protected by law. Patients and/or their families are usually paying high fees to insure that they receive proper care. Unfortunately, unsafe conditions do exist. When patients are injured or suffer from a lack of care, legal action should be taken.

At Miraldi & Barrett, Co. we've spent more than 60 years fighting for people in Lorain County, Erie County, Cuyahoga County and Huron County who have been injured or neglected in assisted living facilities. People looking for legal help arising out of a nursing home neglect case don't have to look to downtown Cleveland to find skilled, professional legal help.

Call us today at 1 800 589 3023 for a free consultation. Our experience doesn't cost more.

 
Neglect or abuse at Ohio nursing homes results in a wide array of problems:


Claims may arise out of caregivers dropping patients, failure to implement fall prevention procedures, patients wandering from the facility due to inadequate supervision or other safeguards, or patients being denied hospital or medical consultations when this care is needed.

The attorneys at Miraldi & Barrett, Co. vow to work closely with clients, listening and responding to their needs throughout the litigation process. Our emphasis on personal attention gets results and there is no attorney fee unless we are successful in recovering money damages for you.

Our office is located at 6061 S. Broadway Ave., just minutes from I-90 (State Route-2). Our building provides easy access and free parking for our clients. View the map.

  • Striking Down Mandatory Arbitration Provisions   
    Description: Nursing homes are adding mandatory arbitration provisions to their admission papers. These provisions routinely favor the nursing home because they deny the residents a right to a jury trial or the ability to get important information through a subpoena. Some Ohio courts are not enforcing these provisions because they are grossly unfair and are deemed unconscionsable.
  • The Unwitnessed Fall   
    Description: The law firm of Miraldi and Barrett has handled a number of cases involving unwitnessed falls. Elderly people are at risk when they are not regularly monitored by the hospital and/or nursing home staff. Call us today at 1 800 589 3023 to discuss your options.
