Catastrophic Injury

No nursing home injury case should be decided by an insurance company

At Gary Martin Hays & Associates, we are ready to listen to your side of the story — we put our experience to work on our clients' nursing home injury cases. Call us now at 1-800-898-HAYS.

One difference between catastrophic injury sustained in a nursing home and other forms of nursing home injury, such as malnutrition, is that it typically stems from a single event rather than a pattern of conduct.

Strict regulations are in place at both the state and federal level to prevent this type of nursing home neglect, yet it does take place. Major injury events in nursing homes may involve a burn injury, broken bones, or permanent loss of mobility. A negligent security matter that leads to wandering or elopement by a resident may result in that person being hit by a car.

Types of catastrophic injury from nursing home abuse

Catastrophic nursing home injuries we have seen include:

• Loss of speech
• Spinal cord injuries
• Loss of use of hands
• Permanent confinement to wheelchair

Every nursing home injury victim deserves aggressive legal representation.

We know that a serious personal injury to a nursing home resident is a life-altering event. Call Gary Martin Hays & Associates today at 1-800-898-HAYS. There is no fee or obligation for an initial consultation. We're ready to help—contact our office right away.
