Medical Malpractice
The medical malpractice claim is the most difficult claim for anyone to present. Over the years, the medical community has successfully passed favorable legislation that makes the standard of proof more difficult in a medical negligence setting than in any other setting. A bad outcome does not always mean medical malpractice has occurred. This is why experience counts in choosing a lawyer to handle a medical malpractice claim.

Our aging population means more of our elder relatives are residing in nursing homes for daily care. Nursing homes are subject to strict regulation by governmental agencies and must adhere to strict standards. Unfortunately, many times the standards are not met.
Nursing homes are often understaffed or staffed with untrained personnel not equipped to handle the needs of the residents. Medication errors are common, as are bed sores, malnutrition, falls, and dehydration.
Arizona has an elder abuse law that grants remedies to elder persons abused in nursing homes. The abuse does not have to be physical. Failure to provide adequate care fits the definition of abuse.
If you have a relative or loved one who you suspect is not being properly cared for in a nursing home, call The Rockafellow Law Firm for a free consultation. Mr. Rockafellow will answer your questions and will do a follow-up record review if warranted at no charge.
