Your Loved One Deserved Better. The Nursing Home Failed Them.

Warning signs include: unexplained weight loss, dehydration, severe bedsores (especially Stage 3-4), repeated falls, unexplained injuries, poor hygiene, medication errors, and infections like sepsis or pneumonia. If your loved one died from any of these, neglect may be the cause. We investigate the facility's care.

Critical records include: the resident's care plan, daily nursing notes, medication administration records (MARs), weight logs, repositioning logs, incident reports, and staffing records. We subpoena all records and analyze them against federal and state care standards. Missing documentation is itself evidence of neglect.

Yes. Nursing homes have a legal duty to provide adequate care. When they fail—through understaffing, inadequate training, or systemic neglect—and a resident dies as a result, the facility can be held liable. Under Oklahoma's wrongful death statute, surviving family members can pursue a claim.

Nursing homes receiving Medicare or Medicaid must comply with federal regulations at 42 CFR Part 483. These rules mandate adequate staffing, proper care planning, fall prevention, pressure ulcer prevention, and many other standards. Violations are documented in state surveys and CMS reports, which we obtain as evidence.

Arbitration clauses in nursing home contracts are often challenged. Federal law prohibits nursing homes from requiring residents to sign arbitration agreements as a condition of admission. Even if an agreement exists, it may not apply to wrongful death claims or may be unenforceable. We analyze the specific agreement.

You can recover: funeral and burial expenses, medical bills before death, conscious pain and suffering of the deceased, loss of companionship, mental anguish of family members, and potentially punitive damages if the neglect was egregious. We document all damages to maximize your recovery.
