Nursing Home Injuries Lawyer in New York City

Extensive Experience Protecting Your Rights

At the Law Office of Hyman & Platt, P.C., in Dobbs Ferry, we have decades of experience helping people recover for injuries suffered as a result of nursing home negligence or abuse. We are considered by our peers to be leaders in the practice, known for successfully handling even the cases that other attorneys have rejected.

We firmly believe in the principle that no matter how old or how sick, a person is entitled to dignity and as a part of that dignity, a person is entitled to basic nursing and medical attention. Anything less is neglect and is considered by us to be unacceptable.

We keep our practice small, carefully selecting the cases we handle, so that we can focus on delivering high-quality legal services. We reject the belief that you must wait a long time to recover for injuries suffered as a result of nursing home negligence. We handle all matters related to your case, focusing our efforts on providing efficient and effective counsel that gets you the results you need. We use state of the art technology to move quickly and help us build the best case for your recovery.

Our Nursing Home Neglect Practice

We handle all matters related to claims for nursing home neglect or elder abuse, including cases involving:

• Bed sores—also known as pressure sores, pressure ulcers or decubitus ulcers
• Falls—causing fractures, broken bones, head or brain injuries, surgeries, or death
• Malnutrition or dehydration resulting from neglect
• Medication or prescription errors—providing the wrong medication or the wrong dosages

We recognize that, in many situations involving nursing home abuse or neglect, our clients are more interested in seeking justice for their loved one. We will work hard to help you hold those responsible accountable, to provide you with peace of mind and to protect others in the future.
