Philadelphia Nursing Home Negligence Attorneys

Snyder Law Group has built expertise across all types of nursing home negligence cases. For over three decades, we’ve successfully represented victims of every kind of facility abuse and neglect, consistently delivering results that far exceed what settlement-focused attorneys achieve.

We handle all nursing home negligence cases including:

Bedsores and pressure ulcers: Preventable wounds caused by inadequate turning, poor hygiene, and understaffing. We prove facilities knew about risk factors and failed to implement proper prevention protocols that could have avoided devastating injuries.

Falls and fractures: Inadequate supervision, improper bed rails, and failure to assist with mobility that cause serious injuries. We investigate fall prevention protocols and hold facilities accountable when broken bones and head injuries result from negligent care.

Medication errors: Wrong dosages, dangerous drug interactions, and failure to monitor medication effects that harm residents. We work with pharmaceutical experts to prove substandard medication management and pharmacy oversight failures.

Malnutrition and dehydration: Inadequate feeding assistance, poor meal planning, and failure to monitor weight loss that causes serious health decline. We prove facilities ignored obvious signs of nutritional neglect and failed to provide basic sustenance.

Infections and poor hygiene: UTIs, sepsis, and communicable diseases caused by unsanitary conditions and inadequate infection control. We investigate facility cleanliness standards and hold operators accountable when poor hygiene causes life-threatening infections.

Physical and emotional abuse: Staff violence, inappropriate restraints, and psychological harm that traumatizes vulnerable residents. We pursue both civil liability and criminal prosecution against abusive staff and facilities that fail to protect residents.

Wandering and elopement: Inadequate security, broken alarms, and failure to supervise residents with dementia who leave facilities unsupervised. We prove facilities knew about wandering risks and failed to implement proper safety protocols.

COVID-19 negligence: Inadequate infection control, visitor restrictions hiding abuse, and failure to provide proper medical care during the pandemic. We understand how isolation protocols masked ongoing neglect and substandard care.

Wrongful death: Fatal neglect, medical emergencies ignored, and systemic failures that cause preventable deaths. We pursue maximum compensation for families while holding facilities accountable for the ultimate failure in care.

Emergency room dumping: Facilities sending sick residents to hospitals to avoid care costs and responsibility. We prove facilities improperly transferred residents to shift liability and avoid providing required medical attention.
