Fighting for Victims of Nursing Home Negligence
Nursing homes and medical facilities are entrusted with the care of their residents and patients. When their negligence hurts the people they are supposed to help, they must be held accountable. At Becker, Schroader & Chapman, we have extensive experience in nursing home negligence and medical malpractice cases. We focus on righting the wrongs that have been done to victims and their families.
Our firm represents clients in Granite City and throughout the Metro East and Southern Illinois. With a combined 100 years of experience, our attorneys fight for individuals and their families in all types of nursing home negligence and medical malpractice cases.
Limiting our practice to personal injury and workers' compensation law, we provide focused service and results driven advocacy. Our main objective is helping you obtain the maximum compensation for your suffering, medical bills, and lost wages.
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury because of a health provider's negligence, we urge you to seek prompt legal counsel. In Illinois, there is a time limit for filling a personal injury claim. Contact our lawyers for a free initial consultation.
Nursing Home Negligence
Elderly people in nursing homes need the services and assistance provided in those facilities. If you or a loved one has instead been neglected and injured, we can help you bring a lawsuit against the staff or the nursing home company.
We can help you with cases involving:
- Bed sores
- Falls (Improper use of bed rails)
- Malnutrition or dehydration
- Prescription errors
- Improperly secured doors
- Inadequate security
We will investigate whether the facility has been negligent in under staffing, providing inadequate resident supervision, or improperly training staff. Whatever the causes of the mistreatment, we will help you fight back.
Medical Malpractice
Mistakes can occur at all stages in the medical system: during a checkup, in the issuing or filling of a prescription, during surgery or surgery preparation, and in post-operative care.
If you or your loved one have been the victim of a medical professional's error, we can help you seek justice.
We can help you with cases involving:
- Failure to diagnose
- Medication errors
- Anesthesia errors
- Incorrect surgery performed
- Postoperative infections
- Birth injuries
Whether your case involves negligence by a doctor, nurse, or pharmacist, we will help you protect your rights and seek the compensation you need.
If you have lost a loved one due to a health provider's negligence or error, we can help you pursue a wrongful death claim for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and loss of family income.
We are dedicated to holding negligent parties responsible for their actions, and you can rely on us for aggressive representation.
