Fort Worth Nursing Home Negligence Lawyers

As medical technology has advanced significantly over the past several decades, Americans are living longer and fuller lives at a pace unanticipated even fifty years ago. This extended life span has had several unintended effects, however, including an increasing number of elderly individuals in need of ongoing medical attention and assistance that is often not available at home. Thus, many families have turned to nursing homes and assisted living facilities to care for their elderly loved ones.

Nursing homes are entrusted with providing effective and responsible care for our aging loved ones. While the majority of these facilities maintain capable and competent service, far too many nursing home workers engage in negligent and abusive behavior, potentially causing their charges to suffer damages that can be catastrophic to their physical and mental health.
