Many of the institutions that provide long-term care for the elderly are owned by for-profit corporations. In an effort to maximize profits, many institutions have cut back on staff or hired less qualified workers for lower salaries in an attempt to decrease costs.
Oregon Nursing Home Abuse
Nursing home and elder abuse is an increasingly important concern in the United States. Currently, there are more than 36 million people over the age of 65 in the U.S. With the baby boomer generation transitioning from middle age to older adulthood, that number is expected to swell to 86.7 million by the year 2050. Many of these older adults may require a form of nursing home or assisted living care.
In every nursing home negligence case handled by Pickett Dummigan McCall LLP, our personal injury lawyers investigate the nursing home’s history of violations of both federal and state law to determine if there is a pattern of neglect. We also focus on staffing and training deficiencies, which are often the root cause of nursing home injuries.
