As Nursing Home litigation becomes ever more prevalent, FKDSSF is at the forefront of the defense.
We have expertise of the law in this area, including knowledge of the Public Health Law, the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) , the Omnibus Reconciliation Act (OBRA), and the New York Code Rules and Regulations (NYCRR). This knowledge allows us to successfully rebut erroneous allegations, often made by plaintiffs, of Nursing Home strict liability.
Our firm has handled many cases that present with the most common injuries sustained by the elderly and the infirm, such as falls, decubitus ulcers, ventilation issues, nutrition issues and allegations of abuse. We scrupulously review charting, co-morbidities and end of life issues to establish our defense. Early contact is made with the nursing and support staff to provide confidence and reassurance. Geriatric experts are also retained to evaluate case issues and assist in the defense. |
