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.
