How Our Chicago Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers Help Families Get Justice

Mistakes or neglect at a long-term care facility can have serious and sometimes devastating consequences. At Postman Law, we are here to support you when you need it most. We understand the trust families place in nursing home staff, and how heartbreaking it is when that trust is broken. Our Chicago nursing home abuse lawyers investigate cases involving improper supervision, neglect, medication errors, inadequate staffing, failure to prevent falls, unsafe living conditions, or a failure to meet required care standards. We work with families whose loved ones have suffered pressure sores, dehydration, malnutrition, infections, physical injuries, or emotional harm due to poor treatment or lack of care.

Our team takes on nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and long-term care providers across Chicago and Illinois. Whether the abuse or neglect occurred in a facility in the city, the suburbs, or communities throughout Cook County, DuPage County, Lake County, Kane County, or Will County, we work to uncover what happened, hold the facility accountable, and help your family protect your loved one’s safety and dignity moving forward.

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider (doctor, nurse, surgeon, etc.) fails to meet the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm or injury to a patient, including those in the care of a nursing home. This can include errors such as misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, medication errors, or improper treatment.

Yes, medical malpractice can occur even if the healthcare provider did not act with harmful intent. Malpractice happens when a provider’s actions or omissions fall below the accepted medical standard, regardless of intent. What matters is whether the provider’s actions directly resulted in harm to the patient.

In a medical malpractice lawsuit, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain, emotional distress, and any long-term care or rehabilitation needed as a result of the injury.

To determine if you have a case, you need to prove that the healthcare provider’s actions were negligent and directly caused harm. The Postman Law team can help evaluate your case and guide you through the legal process.
