In 1975, the State of New York passed Public Health Law (PHL) Section 2801-d to protect residents from nursing home neglect. This law provides a nursing home resident with a private right of action against a nursing home to enforce rights or benefits established for the resident’s well-being, unless the facility can prove that it acted reasonably to prevent and limit the deprivation and resulting injury. This statute allows nursing home residents, or in the case of wrongful death, their estates, to pursue justice for harm caused by nursing home neglect.

We are prepared to represent those injured by neglect in a nursing home by pursuing all responsible parties to root out the cause or causes for the neglect, and vigorously seek compensation for those that have been injured.
