The Unthinkable Happens More Often Than You Think

No one expects to find that their parent, grandparent, or spouse has been physically or sexually abused by those entrusted with their care. But in nursing homes across Wisconsin and the nation, these appalling acts occur more frequently than most realize.
At Michael Hill Trial Law, we have seen the heartbreaking consequences of such abuse and stand ready to fight for victims and their families.
The Unseen Threat Inside Nursing Homes

When families place their loved ones in a nursing home, they trust that basic needs—food, water, dignity—will be met. But in many facilities across Wisconsin, elderly residents are suffering from a quiet, devastating form of neglect: malnutrition and dehydration.
This isn’t simply about someone skipping a meal. It’s about systemic failures that lead to weight loss, weakness, hospitalization, and even death. At Michael Hill Trial Law, we believe every resident deserves proper care—and we’re committed to holding negligent nursing homes responsible when they fall short.
Behind the Scenes: A Dangerous Deficiency

When a loved one moves into a nursing home, families hope for attentive care, timely help, and dignity. But many facilities are chronically understaffed, creating unsafe conditions where even basic needs go unmet.
This isn’t just a business decision. It’s a form of systemic neglect—and in many cases, it’s avoidable.
Choking Hazards in Nursing Homes: A Silent, Deadly Threat to the Elderly

An Overlooked Danger in Elder Care
When we think of nursing home injuries, we often picture falls, infections, or pressure ulcers. Yet one of the most sudden and fatal threats in long-term care facilities is choking. Elderly residents—especially those with cognitive disorders, neurological issues, or difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)—are highly vulnerable to airway obstruction during meals or medication administration.
