The Firm

The House Committee on Government Reform – Minority Office reported that, by 2050, the number of Americans in need of nursing care will rise from 1.6 million to 6.6 million. Considering that over half of the nursing homes in the United States are currently understaffed, it seems inevitable that the epidemic of nursing home negligence and abuse will only continue to grow and affect innocent victims and their families.

Over time, most families are faced with difficult decisions regarding the care of loved ones who can no longer properly care for themselves due to age or infirmity. If you suspect that someone you love has been the victim of nursing home negligence, our Firm has the experience and compassion to help your family in its time of need. It is vital that you seek help even if you are unsure whether or not abuse or negligence has occurred. At the Ches-Mont Personal Injury Law Center, we are able to help you assess signs of abuse and will honestly advise you as to the merits of your case. Should we handle your case, we will work with trusted professionals in the medical, psychological, and other relevant fields to present the strongest case possible. Our Firm will work tirelessly to ensure that the parties responsible for your loved one's suffering are made to answer for their negligent or wrongful acts. We proudly assist families from throughout Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania.

How to Recognize Signs of Nursing Home Negligence and Abuse

If you have entrusted the care of someone you love to a nursing home, it is important that you visit the premises frequently and carefully monitor changes in your loved one's behavior, health, and physical appearance. Because many elderly people suffer from physical or mental impairments, they are particularly susceptible to threats and manipulation; quite often, they are simply unable to articulate their suffering in comprehensible terms. In many cases, only the vigilance and quick action of the elderly person's family prevent further abusive and negligent acts from taking place.

Nursing home abuse can assume many possible forms, including verbal, physical, and sexual abuse, as well as the theft of money or other goods, deliberate overmedication, and the undue use of chemical or physical restraints. While abuse is intentional, nursing home negligence arises from a facility's inability or failure to provide care according to a reasonable standard, leading to unintended, but often severe, harm. As with abuse, nursing home negligence embodies a range of wrongful acts, including the failure to properly administer medication or to adequately monitor the whereabouts of residents.

Some signs of nursing home negligence or abuse are more apparent than others; for example, unexplained bruises, cuts, and burns are all clear indicators of possible physical abuse. However, in many cases, the signs are more subtle, including shifts in the victim's behavior or an uncharacteristic hesitance to speak to family or friends. If your loved one has exhibited any of the following signs of negligence or abuse, please contact our Firm for more information or to arrange an evaluation of your case:

Changes in Physical Appearance

The most obvious signs of nursing home abuse are sudden, unexplained changes in physical appearance. Be particularly attentive to cuts, scars, bruises, swelling, burns, welts, and other signs of injury that cannot be adequately explained by either your loved one or the nursing home staff. Often, these marks are in telling locations; for example, marks on the neck indicate the possibility of strangulation, while marks on the legs may be the result of forced sexual activity.

Pressure sores, including decubitus ulcers, or "bed sores," are among the most common physical signs of nursing home negligence. Other common indicators of neglect include signs of malnutrition, including rapid weight loss; signs of dehydration, including severe dryness of the mouth and tongue; and the appearance of scalding, which often results from a failure to properly supervise the resident's activities. Likewise, an unhygienic appearance may indicate a failure on the part of the nursing home to assist with washing, grooming, changing of clothes, and other aspects of the resident's hygiene regimen.

Changes in Behavior / Unusual Behaviors

While gradual changes in behavior can certainly occur with age, sudden, radical changes in behavior are often indicative of nursing home negligence or abuse. In some cases, these changes can result in a complete reversal of the resident's "normal" behavior: a lively, talkative person may suddenly become sullen and withdrawn, while a quiet, good-natured person may become aggressive and hostile. Less overt signs of negligence or abuse can include uncharacteristic requests to be left alone, the sudden inability to express or show emotions, and volatile displays of temper or cruelty toward friends and family. You should also pay close attention to unusual physical behaviors, such as rocking, scratching, biting, pacing, or sucking. Such unexpected changes in behavior are possible indicators of emotional, verbal, or sexual abuse; they can also result from nursing home negligence, including the failure to administer proper medication and otherwise attend to the resident's needs.

One of the behaviors most common to elders is 'wandering,' which is a tendency to roam without any destination or purpose. Residents known to wander must be handled with extreme care and delicacy by the nursing home staff. Improper supervision of the resident can lead to serious injury or even death, particularly if the resident wanders off the premises. However, nursing homes may not resort to undue force or extreme measures in controlling this behavior. They are not permitted, for example, to confine residents to the rooms against their will or use physical restraints or chemical sedation simply to prevent wandering. Such actions can be considered abusive.

Changes in Health

Unreported or untreated illnesses, injuries that require emergency care, and accidents resulting in broken bones or fractures are all strong indicators of nursing home negligence, as well as possible abuse. Other health-related indicators include an extreme loss or gain of weight, lack of access to medical services, undue use of chemical sedation, and generally unsanitary conditions.

Tragically, many victims of nursing home abuse or negligence die as a result of the nursing home's inability to provide appropriate care. In such cases, our Firm may file a wrongful death suit on behalf of the victim's family. In order to bring a successful wrongful death action against a nursing home, it is necessary to show that the death was caused by an act of negligence or abuse, or could have been prevented if the nursing home had taken proper precautionary measures. Deaths for which nursing homes may be held liable include those that result from lack of supervision, such as drowning, injuries sustained while wandering, and slip and fall injuries. Nursing homes can also be held liable for deaths resulting from medical negligence, such as the failure to provide care for a known condition, the failure to act promptly to treat an emergency condition, and the inadvertent choking of a resident with a feeding tube.

Listen to Your Loved One

Above all else, listen to your loved one's complaints, fears, and expressions of sadness, anger, or discontent. Take seriously any reports of being hit, pushed, sexually harassed, or otherwise mistreated by the nursing home staff or other residents. Likewise, pay careful attention to explanations—or lack thereof—provided by staff members as to changes in your loved one's health, behavior, medication, and physical appearance. It is better to act on your instinct and seek professional legal assistance than to risk allowing potential abuse or neglect to continue.

We have served many citizens of this region who have been injured by a defective or poorly designed product. Pennsylvania law provides significant legal protection to persons injured by an unsafe product. Pennsylvania law considers a product defective where it lacks any element necessary to make it safe for its intended use. Pennsylvania law also considers a productive defective where it possesses any element that renders it unsafe for its intended use.

We have experience in the complex issues presented by products injuries in the work place. We realize the advantages given to a Plaintiff in this area and pursue your right to full compensation vigorously.

A Product Liability case involves suing manufacturers who are responsible for designing and manufacturing products that are unsafe under these standards. It also involves suing companies in the chain of distribution of the product. Manufacturers or distributors can be held liable when a defective product causes injury to an adult or child.

Design flaws and defects can be found in a wide range of products, including cars and other auto industry products, industrial machines at work, construction equipment and materials, appliances, children's toys, cribs, car seats, drugs and other consumer products.We have served many citizens of this region who have been injured by a defective or poorly designed product.

° Chemical products
° Household appliances
° Consumer products
° Children's products
° Airbags
° Seatbelts
° Tires
° Motor vehicles

We are ready to serve you or a family member in the difficult circumstance where a product defect injury occurs. Product defects often lead to tragic circumstances where a family is deprived of its income. The injured person often is restricted from doing most, if not any, work. The injured person is often in ongoing and significant pain. The party faces mounting medical bills, loss of self-esteem, depression, and anxiety about the future. We understand your needs when you are seriously injured.

If you need experienced personal injury attorneys who are aggressive advocates, we are here to serve your needs. Clients find we represent them with skill and compassion to ensure they get the compensation they require. You will find that we take a team approach to all serious cases. There is a unique synergy that comes from our representation.

It is important that you contact us as soon as possible so we can preserve evidence and investigate the circumstances of your case promptly. It is important to know that product liability cases can involve many potential defendants as the defective machine may have passed through several distributors after it left the manufacturer. Cases involving workplace injuries involve a particular need for prompt action. Contact us immediately so we can better serve you.

When you are invited to enter upon someone else's property by either implied or express consent, the owner of that property has the legal obligation to maintain reasonably safe conditions and to warn you of any potential hazards. When a property owner fails to fulfill this responsibility and an injury results, he or she can be held liable for damages under the law of premises liability. This law extends to both commercial and private properties, allowing victims to seek compensation for pain, suffering, and other losses.

Not everyone who suffers an injury on someone else's property will necessarily be eligible for compensation. In order to file a successful premises liability claim, you must be able to demonstrate negligence on the part of the property owner or the party commissioned to act on behalf of the property owner. For example, a patron of a grocery store who slips and falls on a wet floor will have a difficult time showing negligence if he or she ignored clearly posted warning signs. Likewise, if that patron slips and falls immediately after another patron spills some liquid, leaving no opportunity for the store's employees to attend to the spill, the owners of the property will most likely not share liability. However, if the slip and fall occurs due to a spill that the store's employees knew about but failed to respond to, there may be grounds for a strong premises liability case.

Often, premises liability cases depend heavily on the circumstances surrounding the accident. For example, a business owner who does not provide proper security despite knowing that he or she is doing business in a community with a high crime rate may be held liable if a customer falls victim to a violent act. Likewise, a landlord can be held responsible for damages that occur to tenants of an apartment building if he or she has neglected to provide adequate locks and other security equipment.

At the Ches-Mont Personal Injury Law Center, our Firm have extensive experience handling the full range of premises liability cases, including slip and fall accidents, falling merchandise accidents, and other accidents resulting from unsafe conditions on public and private property. If you or someone you love has suffered a serious injury due to the negligence of a property owner, please contact our experienced, aggressive personal injury attorneys in Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania today for an explanation of your rights and legal options.

The National Safety Council recently declared June "National Safety Month." This effort to improve public awareness of workplace safety follows the organization's 2003 "Report on Safety in America," which found:

° There were 4,500 workplace fatalities due to unintentional injuries.
° Unguarded machines, including saws and compressors
° There were 3.2 deaths per 100,000 American workers.
° 3.4 million American workers suffered debilitating injuries.
° Motor vehicle crashes accounted for 2,000 of the 4,500 workplace fatalities.

Accidents in the workplace can lead to any number of painful conditions, from repetitive stress injuries to permanent disability and even death. If you or someone you love has been seriously injured while performing normal, assigned job-related duties, our Firm can help you obtain the compensation to which you are entitled. If you have been unfairly denied workers' compensation benefits, the Ches-Mont Personal Injury Law Center has the experience and knowledge in successfully representing thousands of injured workers to bring your case to a successful conclusion. To schedule an evaluation of your workplace injury case, please contact the Ches-Mont Personal Injury Law Center.

The Ches-Mont Personal Injury Law Center has the experienced in helping you obtain Social Security or other disability benefits to which you are entitled such as short-term and long-term disability benefits. Over the years, our attorneys have handled hundreds of these types of claims. Because we also handle workers' compensation cases and automobile cases, we know all the types of claims an injured person may have and how they interact with each other.

I. Social Security Cases

We have helped many clients obtain Social Security benefits or disability benefits for various conditions. These conditions have included:

° Herniated spinal discs
° Failed back syndrome
° Heart arrhythmias
° Coronary artery disease
° Knee and hip replacement surgery
° Emphysema/COPD
° Cancer
° Stroke and its after effects
° Bipolar disorder
° Depression
° Personality disorders/obsessive compulsive disorder
° Lupus
° Multiple sclerosis
° Fibromyalgia
° Chronic pain syndrome

For those who are unable to work because of injury or illness, Social Security benefits may be available. Disabled workers may be entitled to Social Security disability insurance. The amount you receive will be based on how much you have paid into the system through your payroll taxes. For those without a strong work history, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a needs-based program, is available.
Almost all people who apply for benefits are denied at the initial level. It is only when you appeal and request a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge that you have your best chance of obtaining benefits. We know how to help you understand the Social Security bureaucracy and will prepare you for the hearing. This is done by obtaining the medical records and reports which the Judge will need to grant a favorable decision. More importantly, we will help you in your testimony so that you can explain to the Judge how your impairments affect you on a daily basis and why, at this point in your life, you are unable to work.
Disability is defined by the Social Security Administration as being unable to perform full-time work of any kind in the national economy. This disability must be expected to last for at least one year. It does not matter if your disability is based on a physical condition or a medical condition.

II. Short- and Long-Term Disability Cases

We are proud to provide representation of those who have short- or long-term disability claims as well. Persons who have such claims are usually subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and must follow certain defined procedures in a benefit plan. The plans often have strict deadlines. Our representation of you is made easier if you consult with us as soon as you perceive a need for benefits. It is important to place your best foot forward if you wish to be approved for benefits. Early consultation is important to protecting your right to benefits.
