Need a Nursing Home Negligence Lawyer?


Putting an elderly parent, aunt or friend in a nursing home or long-term care facility can be one of the most wrenching things you do. The last thing you should have to worry about is whether your loved one will be neglected or abused.

But it happens. If you suspect your relative or friend is the victim of nursing home abuse or is being neglected in a nursing home or long term care facility, contact an experienced nursing home abuse attorney at The Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya. Colorado and federal laws guaranteed rights and protections to all nursing home residents. We can help protect your vulnerable loved one.

Nursing home neglect and abuse can take many forms:

 

  • Not taking steps to protect against the risk of falling. Falls can result in broken hips – a life-threatening condition in the elderly – brain injuries, and even wrongful death.
  • Administering the wrong medications or the wrong dose of drugs.
  • Failing to monitor bedridden seniors, resulting in bedsores that can lead to dangerous infections.
  • Allowing residents to wander, possibly getting lost or hurt.
  • Failing to provide proper nutrition or hydration.
  • Intentional physical abuse.


Dianne Sawaya’s nursing home neglect lawyers know the laws, procedures and guidelines that govern nursing home care. We will treat you and your family member or friend with the compassion and respect they deserve – and aggressively protect them and get them the compensation and justice they are entitled to for their suffering.

Call now at (303) 758-4777 or email us for a free evaluation of your nursing home neglect case.

There’s no obligation. A nursing home abuse attorney at The Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya will determine your legal options and explain how we think you should proceed. If we work together, we won’t charge you a fee unless we get you a settlement or jury award.

A Boulder lawmaker has introduced a bill in the Colorado legislature designed to restrict an insurance company’s ability to take back money from a plaintiff’s recovery amount. Rep. Claire Levy, D-Boulder, introduced HB 10-1168 on Feb. 22. Under what’s known as subrogation, an insurer that pays benefits to someone who is injured due to an act or omission of a third party can in some cases be repaid those benefits out of the amount the injured party recovers, regardless of whether the injured party has been fully compensated

You see it all the time. Someone is driving down the street, yakking on the cell phone – or worse, texting. Unfortunately, I see it too. I see it with clients who have been injured in a car crash and who tell me they saw the other driver talking or texting away.

A new Colorado law took effect Dec. 1, 2009, banning anyone from texting while driving a car. The same law makes it illegal for anyone under 18 to use a cell phone at all while driving. But I wouldn’t be surprised if most people are ignoring the law.
