Nursing Home Defense

Attorneys with Keogh, Cox & Wilson represent skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, retirement facilities and rehabilitation centers, both directly and at the request of facility insurers. Our nursing home clients are facing increased regulatory scrutiny on both the state and federal levels. This has led to greater administrative penalties and creation of remedies and has further triggered more civil liability exposure for nursing homes and related facilities.

We defend claims involving:

• Abuse and neglect
• Dehydration
• Malnutrition
• Decubitus ulcers
• Inadequate supervision and staffing
• Potential misconduct
• Medication errors
• Deterioration of chronic illness
• Verbal, mental and physical abuse
• Patients' Bill of Rights violations
• Wrongful death
• Improper use of restraints

Keogh, Cox & Wilson recognizes the unique challenge in defending long-term care providers and the delicate balance between an individual's needs and our client's right to fair representation of its business and practices.

Keogh, Cox & Wilson defends nursing home cases in all stages of litigation and continuously evaluates a claim for early resolution strategies.
