This boutique firm provides more personal service than any mid-to-large firm can. I worked with Ron and Amy, both of whom kept me informed in every phase of my medical malpractice suit. The results were achieved in a timely manner and to a satisfactory conclusion. I would definitely recommend this firm.  - Carla P.

This firm is THE BEST!  I interviewed 2 firms before going with them. I chose them because of their knowledge, but also their sensitivity to me & the issues I was dealing with.  I was kept informed of the progress of my case throughout.  If you think you have a medical malpractice situation, Watkins, Lourie, Roll, & Chance PC will get you the resolution & peace of mind you deserve!!  - Margie S.

Great Attorneys who truly care about the people they are representing. We live in Florida but needed representation from Georgia for my brothers case and we had Lance Lourie and Lindsay as our attorneys and Beth as the paralegal. They handled his case with such care and understanding. They stayed in touch with us throughout the lawsuit and also handled this through the pandemic making it comfortable for us to handle things safely and confidentially. They truly went above & beyond and we won the case. I would definately recommend this law firm if you are in need of some truly caring, professional and understanding attorneys. We can never thank them enough for taking care of my brother.

There are hundreds of nursing homes all over Georgia. Many of them are staffed by dedicated employees who work hard to care for their residents. However, many of these facilities are run in a manner that places profits over people. And when they are, your loved ones can be victimized at a time in their lives when they deserve rest and the best possible care.

Our Georgia nursing home abuse attorneys can represent you if a family member has been hurt or killed as a result of negligence and misconduct in a nursing home. We have the experience, tenacity, and commitment necessary to help you and your family get the justice you deserve.

CAN I SUE A NURSING HOME?

When the actions or inaction of nursing home staff, management, or ownership result in harm, victims and their families are entitled to sue. All care facilities are upheld to medical and legal standards. When these standards are ignored or violated, individuals who suffer injury have the right to seek justice through legal channels.

SYMPTOMS OF NURSING HOME ABUSE AND NEGLECT 

Signs of abuse or neglect may present as: 
- Bed sores or pressure ulcers
- Dehydration and malnutrition
- Rapid weight loss
- Rapid hair loss
- General uncleanliness
- An inability to focus
- Unexplained injury
- Unusual changes in behavior
- Aggressive or violent outbursts
- Depression or anxiety
- A withdrawal from the nursing home community 
- Visible discomfort around certain staff members

In some cases, residents of a nursing home will be frank about abuses they are suffering. Listen to your loved one and take appropriate action immediately if you suspect any form of mistreatment is occurring.

The National Council on Aging (NCOA) reports that one in ten Americans over the age of 60 have been the victim of some form of nursing home abuse or neglect. Citing physical, sexual, and emotional abuse along with both willful and passive neglect, the NCOA further reports that men and women who are victims of mistreatment have a 300% higher risk of death than do those who have not been victims of abuse or neglect.

My mother was in a memory care facility, she was able to dress herself, walk, bath herself but she did have several instances where she would fall and the facility did not take the proper measures to keep her from falling, she also had chronic UTI’S and dehydration, she ultimately ended up falling and breaking her neck and after that she was unable to care for herself any longer and ended up passing away just 7 months after she broke her neck. I had this law firm recommended to me and I cannot tell you in words how great every team member was to work with, they truly care about you and fight for your families rights. I strongly recommend this law firm to anyone that has had an experience like my mothers. - Mitchell P.

When thinking about nursing home abuse, we often think in just those terms: about “abuse.” However, the reality is that nursing home residents are in danger of more than just active physical abuse – you also have to worry about neglect from poorly trained and underpaid nursing home staff members.

It is safe to assume that most nursing home employees try their best and behave with diligence and compassion. However, there are bad apples, and even the best employees can be undermined by profit-seeking administrators. What’s more, a growing number of nursing homes in Georgia are part of corporate empires that oversee thousands of facilities across the country. Suffice it to say, this is not a recipe for quality care.
