Rosenbaum & Associates is an experienced law firm focusing on nursing home negligence in Philadelphia and throughout Pennsylvania, as well as New Jersey. While our firm has been in existence for more than 25 years, over the past 15 years we have continued to focus our efforts on helping nursing home residents and their families. Our Pennsylvania nursing home abuse lawyers have dedicated our practice to helping victims of serious abuse and neglect at nursing homes. We never represent nursing home management or employees -- only victims and their families. Our law practice focuses exclusively on cases involving injuries and health complications due to neglect, abuse and medical malpractice. With five offices in greater Philadelphia, we can take cases from throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Serious injuries and illnesses at nursing homes can have a catastrophic effect on their victims. Cases of malnutrition, dehydration, bedsores or infections can further compromise the already weakened health of older or disabled people. This can cause a sharp decline in health, leading to hospitalization and even death. When this is caused by poor care at a nursing home, it increases the emotional and financial strain on your family. Sometimes families must disrupt their lives to ensure proper treatment or get their loved ones out of the bad environment quickly. Our Philadelphia nursing home neglect attorneys help patients and families hold homes responsible for causing this, and alleviate some of the financial and personal strain caused by the home's negligence.
We understand that families are deeply hurt, physically and emotionally, by negligence at nursing homes. For that reason, some of our clients want to settle their legal claims as quickly as possible and focus their attention on healing. Our Pennsylvania nursing home negligence attorneys will make every effort to do this -- but always with the goal of getting you the best possible settlement. We will never advise you to accept a nursing home's offer if we don't believe it's the best possible offer for your circumstances. Instead, we are fully prepared to take the matter to a court of law. If the home's insurance company knows your lawyer is willing to fight, you are much more likely to be offered a fair, reasonable settlement.
Common Signs of Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse.
- Bed/pressure sores.
- Poor hygiene.
- Quick weight loss.
- Multiple falls.
Victims Pay Nothing Until We Recover Money
Rosenbaum & Associates does not charge attorney's fees unless and until we recover financial compensation for our clients. In fact, we won't ask for fees or costs out of your pocket while the case is going on. Our sole reimbursement is a contingency fee, if we reach a verdict or settlement for you. That means we assume all of the financial risk of pursuing the case.
If you're considering a case but you'd like to know more, our Philadelphia nursing home abuse attorneys can help. We offer free case evaluations for potential clients -- meetings where we can learn about your case and explain your legal options. You can set one up by calling us toll-free at 1-800-7-LEGAL-7 (1-800-753-4257) or send a message through this site. We have offices throughout the Philadelphia area, in downtown Philadelphia; Springfield; Allentown; Trevose; and Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
