[p7]A personal injury claim arises from a physical or psychological injury which occurs as a result of the negligent or wrongful conduct of another person or entity.[/p7] Sukhman | Yagoda represents individuals and their families who have suffered serious personal injuries from Auto, Trucking, and other Motor Vehicle Accident claims, Birth and Neonatal Injuries, Medical Malpractice, Nursing Home Negligence, Construction, Premises Liability/Slip, Trip and Falls, Defective Products, and Unsafe Drugs and Medical Devices.  

[p7]When loved ones can no longer take care of themselves, a nursing home is supposed to be a safe and supportive solution to care for their medical needs.[/p7] Unfortunately, not all facilities take proper care of their residents, and knowing the warning signs of abuse and neglect are an important first step toward protecting elderly friends or relatives. Abuse and neglect can occur as a result of the improper care delivered by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nurse assistants, doctors, maintenance workers, or any other employees of a long-term care facility.
