Infections in nursing homes are often overlooked until it's too late. What may begin as a minor health issue can quickly escalate into a life-threatening crisis when proper infection control procedures are ignored. At Michael Hill Trial Law, we represent families whose loved ones suffered — or died — due to preventable infections in long-term care facilities. These cases aren’t just about germs; they’re about systemic failures in basic caregiving.
When a loved one passes away in a nursing home, families are left grieving, searching for answers, and often wondering whether more could have been done. While death is an inevitable part of life, not all deaths in elder care facilities are natural or unavoidable. At Michael Hill Trial Law, we help families uncover the truth behind suspicious or preventable deaths and hold nursing homes legally accountable for their role in wrongful death cases.
Nursing home abuse is a tragic and all-too-common reality for many vulnerable seniors across the United States. While most families place their loved ones in care facilities with the expectation of safety and compassion, what many encounter instead is a system riddled with neglect, exploitation, and, in some cases, outright violence. At Michael Hill Trial Law, we believe that preventing nursing home abuse begins with exposing its roots and holding negligent institutions accountable — not only for justice but to protect future residents.
Medication mistakes in nursing homes represent one of the most dangerous yet overlooked forms of elder neglect. At Michael Hill Trial Law, we've seen how these errors—ranging from wrong dosages to deadly drug interactions—can cause irreversible harm to vulnerable residents. What makes these cases particularly tragic is that they are almost always preventable with proper staffing, training, and oversight.
The types of medication errors we commonly encounter reveal systemic problems in elder care facilities. Residents may receive incorrect medications because staff fail to double-check prescriptions or properly manage medication carts. Others suffer from missed doses when overworked nurses can't maintain proper schedules. Some of the most severe cases involve dangerous drug combinations that occur when facilities don't maintain accurate medication records or ignore allergy warnings.
