Practices Areas: Elder Law/Nursing Home
Morrison Mahoney LLP’s attorneys routinely handle cases of alleged nursing home malpractice cases involving decubitus ulcers, improper use of restraints, physical and sexual abuse, and malnutrition. Our attorneys have also represented nursing home clients in matters involving guardianship issues and visitation rights, and have successfully tried cases to verdict by defending claims of negligent security resulting in the murder of a nurse, and obtaining permanent injunctive relief against disruptive family members that threatened the health and safety of nursing home residents.
In light of our experience in this area of the law, our attorneys have been asked to speak at risk management seminars organized and attended by the nation’s largest nursing home providers. In addition, our attorneys have been asked by clients to conduct seminars for their management-level staff to help reduce exposure to patient-care liability by ensuring compliance with the myriad state and federal regulations that confront the nursing home industry. Morrison Mahoney LLP’s attorneys have published numerous articles [provide link to publications] on areas of concern to our nursing home clients, and have served on malpractice tribunals to screen cases in compliance with the Massachusetts malpractice statute.
