- GuardianshipFinancial abuse or financial exploitation is the improper or illegal use of a resident’s funds, assets, or property. Nursing home patients are often more vulnerable to financial abuse and are often unaware of it. Nursing home employees may cash a resident’s check without permission or authorization, forge a signature, steal or misuse a resident’s money or possessions, deceive or coerce a resident to sign documents such as a contract or will, or improperly use guardianship, conservatorship, or power of attorney.

- Personal InjuryUnfortunately, accidents happen every day in the United States. They can cause injuries ranging from a minor sprained ankle to a severe brain injury. Personal injuries can be caused by unavoidable or unforeseeable circumstances. However, when a personal injury is caused by the negligent or careless actions of another person, that person can be held responsible for the injuries and losses suffered by their actions.
- Medical MalpracticeNot every situation in which something goes wrong or the patient’s condition worsens is medical malpractice. Medical science makes no guarantees, and not every patient will respond to treatment in every situation. It is not malpractice if the patient’s condition is untreatable or becomes worse. Provided the doctor acted with reasonable care and skill in selecting and carrying out a course of treatment, no medical malpractice has occurred.

In a recent year, insurance companies paid out 530 million dollars to dog bite injury victims.
