Milwaukee Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer - 414-312-4186
Nursing homes are licensed and inspected by the state of Wisconsin. In order to operate, they must comply with certain state and federal regulations, some of which involve the safety and care of patients. As a result, nursing homes can be held financially liable for injuries and deaths that occur as a result of negligence and violations of health and safety regulations.
Based in Milwaukee, the nursing home abuse lawyers at Jacquart & Lowe, S.C., have been representing victims and their families throughout Wisconsin who have been seriously injured, abused, or neglected by a nursing home facility or healthcare professional employed by the elder care facility, including sexual assault, improper restraints, and bedsores (decubitus ulcers).
